“We are the main beneficiaries of Toi market and we cannot burn it down. Toi market is in Kibera and Kibera land belongs to Nubians. We are not here to fight anybody but we want everybody to know that we Nubians own Toi market and no one should demarcate us referring to us as arsonists,” he added.
The community is now expecting the former Prime Minister Hon. Raila Odinga to take a strong action against Sarangombe MCA since he is elected on ODM ticket and he made the statement in his presence.
