Speaking in a past interview, Juliani said Dandora HipHop City was the brainchild of his strong will to empower and unit young people as demonstrated in one of his songs, 'Kutabadilishwa na nani Kama si sisi'

The government has been on a spree to reclaim riparian land and move people away from rivers, especially after the recent floods.

The demolitions have however been met with mixed reactions from Kenyans.
