Kenyan Gospel artist Lady Bee is one of the hundreds of distraught Kenyans affected by the house-demolishing spree which has engulfed Athi River and seen people thrown into limbo, homeless and despondent.
While sharing her experience on Instagram, Lady Bee narrated her profound disappointment and heartbreak after witnessing her five-year investment crumble amidst the ongoing demolitions, which have now taken a life of their own, even overwhelming local and national politicians.
A distressed Lady Bee revealed the harrowing experience she endured while at the same time expressing gratitude to God for pulling her through.
A battle-hardened servant of God, Lady Bee waxed lyrical about God’s salvation saying that she could “have died” were it not for the strength of the Lord.
“I can’t thank God enough for salvation, because Sato ningedie. But [I’m] here to testify that indeed the joy of the Lord is my strength. Watching helplessly my property go down is the most painful thing ever. My heart is so broken, why didn’t you give us notice then?” a devastated Lady Bee questioned.
“My condolences to all my neighbours at Athi River, Mavoko County, what happened to us was so inhuman, so insensitive, so devilish, so far I’ve never been broken like this!”
The ‘Nakuinua’ hitmaker further admitted to sleepless nights and heartache over the last three days as her five-year investment was demolished in a matter of minutes.
“For the past 3 days sijakua nalala aki. Nimekua najinyima niishi maisha bora, 5 years investment inaenda chini kwa dakika. Kweli bottom imekuka. But for sure Yesu anaweza tufariji, anaweza rejesha na atatupa amani,” she wrote.
As the saga continued, detectives summoned Mavoko MP Patrick Makau and 29 others to record statements over the sale of the land owned by Portland Cement Company.
