Kenyans have been forced to find creative ways to survive during harsh economic times over the last several years.
Affordable housing is number one on the list of the most challenging obstacles when it comes to making it in the capital city, Nairobi.
However, a group of about 20 individuals has found a way to live in the city, along the ever-busy Thika Superhighway but at a rent-free rate.
A feature done by K24's Dennis Matara uncovered the group that had transformed the overpass at Roysambu into their home, went viral on Sunday, January 12.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Matara revealed that the young men had since been evicted after the feature, having warned them that their eviction was inevitable once he aired his piece.
He went on to explain that the entire group consisted of street families who had no means to sustain themselves.
Using well-placed ropes, the young men make their way dangerously up the underside of the highway and disappear into the various crevices where they have set up their accommodation.
Kelvin Nyakundi - one of the young men literally living on Thika-superhighway, explained that his decision to do so was a matter of necessity.
"Si kupenda kwangu, hii maisha ya base si poa na singetaka 2020 inipite tu hapa (it's not like I had a choice, this kind of life is not what I want, especially in the new year)," he narrated.
He went on to ask the journalist to at least try and organise any sort of job that would help him vacate his dangerous premises.
Nyakundi's sentiments were echoed by other occupants, with most begging for a way out.
