    "content": "(1) The petitioners were residents of Buxton Estate owned by the County Government of Mombasa until 5th March 2021 when they were evicted by the county government inspectorate personnel. (2) That in the year 2016, the County Government of Mombasa formulated the vision 2035 project, which sought to modernise the County Housing Estate. Buxton Estate was one of the estates and the residents moved to court to challenge the project as there was neither public participation conducted on the project, nor did the resettlement plan comply with the law. (3) The Land and Environment Court ordered the developer to provide a resettlement plan that will comply with the law. However, the developer did not comply with a court order. (4) That in the year 2020, a new bid to modernised the estates was awarded to a different Developer from that of the year 2016. The developer conducted public participation. However, the concerns raised by residents of Buxton Estate were not properly addressed. (5) That the residents moved to court and sort injunctive orders to stop the project until the issues were addressed. However, the court dismissed the injunction application. Thereafter the County Inspectorate started the demolition of the Estate on 5th March, 2021, the petitioner sought redress from the Mombasa County Government. However, the grievances for compensation and resettlement have not been addressed. (6) Petitioner therefore, praise that the Senate intervenes in this matter with ensuring that residents of Buxton Estate are compensated and settled in accordance with the law."
