Rapper Shina Karen is a woman in pain after the government demolished their house right before her eyes.

Shekina salvages columns sells them

The young rapper looked at the whole scene in shock, and another video showed her trying to salvage what she could.

She had a hammer in her hand as she also tried to get some of the building materials. In the end, she was proud that she had saved some columns of the house.

"Your government has decided to make me homeless. The best thing is, I removed the columns and sold them; I can't go at a loss twice. Otherwise, water is thicker than blood. Please find me a man so I can replace my mum's shamba; she didn't deserve this," said the rapper.

In the background, anxious people were seen going back and forth, trying to save their belongings and helping each other lift huge items such as water tanks.

Netizens who saw the video shared by the budding musician felt sorry for her family and wondered why the government was evicting them without giving them alternative places to live and rebuild their lives.

"Saddest day of my life rest in peace my home, we loved you, but the government loved you more," said Shekina.

The centre had been operating for over seven years, playing a crucial role in the community by supporting local youth and artists.
