Wamatangi's car bazaar and car wash premises near Nyayo National Stadium were flattened on Friday for allegedly being on grabbed land.

The Jubilee Party Senator condemned the demolitions saying he was wrongly targeted as he had all the necessary documents to show he obtained the land legally.

Speaking during an interview on NTV, he said the property has been leased to him by the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC).

"I know I am not above the law. That is land that was leased to me. We have been there for 20 years," Wamatangi said, adding he has never received a notice ordering him to vacate.

Speaking during the same show, Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot defended his Senate counterpart saying it was wrong to demolish the multi-million million structures without notice.

"I have seen the documents that he (Wamatangi) has presented and I don't have any reason to doubt him. We support the multi-agency team doing this, but they would only do us a greater service if they did it within the confines of the law," Cheruiyot said.

Tongaren Member of Parliament Eseli Simiyu echoed similar sentiments and castigated the government for commissioning "unlawful' demolitions.

"I think Wamatangi is unfortunate. There is a valid lease agreement. Wamatangi seems to have followed the law, he didn't put up permanent structures," Simiyu said.
