"The toilets are always dirty and he does not want anyone to question him. We have tried to call him so as we share but he has always given us his back," said Kepha Onyori, one of the tenants. 

According to him, drama started when the landlord stormed the plot and started harassing a woman who had not paid sh 200 meant for water. 

Another tenant identified as Irene Kemunto said the landlord was only active when it came to seeking rent but his services were poor. 

 “We wanted to let him know that we know our rights and we are ready to face the law on the same until he does what is right," said Kemunto.

However the Landlord refused to speak about the matter and only threatened that he would ensure they vacate his houses.
