Contents:
Following the unfortunate pipeline explosion that killed over 100 Kenyans a few days ago in Nairobi Sinai slum,we take this opportunity to petition the UNHABITAT participants in the closed door Experts General Meeting on demolishion and evictions- 20th-23rd,september 2011.The proposed closed door meeting at UNHABITAT Nairobi is directly in bad taste to Kenyans whom feels needs to be heard in regards to the pending evictions and demolishions.
Decisions:
Kenyans and the entire East Africa feel sadddened by lack of citizenly/affected participation in the talks by the so called experts.Through International Alliance of Inhabitants(http://www.habitants.org/) slum dwellers,activists and networks working in the region have partnered to make sure the voices of the slum dwellers are heard at highest level.
1. meetings to deliberate the Kenyans views and inputs on evictions and demolishion will be held in Muthurwa on sunday 18th,sep,2011 and the follow up on 19th,sep-2011 at Korokocho Baptist Church Hall from 2.30pm.
