On 24th November 2022, residents of Mathare in Mlango Kubwa area protested the attempt to grab land by a private developer who allegedly has been identified as Bishop Gitonga of Redeemed Gospel Church. He allegedly sent goons at 2AM to fence the said land. The community brought the fence down in protest claiming that was the only remaining public land in the neighbourhood and therefore they will protect it at all costs. Four people were injured by the said goons.
