Hurlingham traders decry forced eviction by Rubis Energy

JCB,

Congratulations on appointment to Rubis Kenya Managing Director.

I write to you on behalf of the previous tenants of the Hurlingham Rubis Site. I would like to inform you of the way all the tenants were unceremoniously kicked out. The genesis of this fateful event started when the tenants namely Siyara Pharmacy, Amazone wines and spirits, and other small traders were served with a notice to vacate our businesses from the station with a backdated letter with immediate effect.

We have operated our businesses in that site for over 10 years fulfilling our obligation faithfully. Efforts to mitigate this your management fell on deaf ears.

They claimed to have sent an email to that effect to which none of the tenants received nor acknowledged. There is no evidence of receipt from either party.  This led to forceful evictions which led to loss of Sh15 Million of all our trading stocks by the firm sent to oversee the evictions.

The Kenya Police investigated this event and prepared all documentation for the director of prosecution to prosecute your managers. However, your personal assistant, Pius Omollo interfere with the investigations and charges were dropped by the office of prosecution.

Be informed that the tenants you forcefully evicted serve the same community that you want to set up new  for them. They are aware of what happened. You may set up shop but you don’t have the blessings of the community. Evictions took place right in the middle of a pandemic. What could be worse than stine cold actions undertaken by your Management. More than 15 families were left without their regular income.
