The minority Nubian community has a reason to smile after an appellate court in Kisumu dismissed Kenya Railways appeal that would have left them landless and homeless.
In a judgment delivered by justices Asike Makhandia, Luka Kimaru, and Hellen Omondi, the appellate court established that the respondent’s right to housing was violated as their houses were demolished without considering their welfare.
