for the construction of Yaya hawway in Kibera slum.
Half part of the namwed schools will be chopped off to pave way for the highway which is already under construction.
Both

informal Schools in Kibera strated during Moi era with the major
objective of giving affordable education to poor kids from the slum.

Primary School was mooted by Mr Joghn Kanyiri educationilist turned
politician while Mshimoni squatters was mooted by Bishop Timothy Mulehi,
Already
sponsor shad threaten to pull out from the affected schools given that
they had invested very much in the building which are to be pulled out.
Other
affected Schools are church owned and private ones and the action is
likely going to affect learning in the schools especially students
preparing for Std 8 examination.
Apart from School other structures around administration center and political offices had not been spared.
