Nairobi county government has demolished yet again Pimp My Ride East Africa car wash situated in the central business district citing illegal structure.

This despite a court order seen by TUKO.co.ke in which the businessman pleaded to stop the impending demolition of the garage erected where famous Simmers Club operated.

The owner rushed to court on July, Tuesday 9, in order to seek help but a presiding magistrate declined to grant him his wish.

The court however, certified the matter as urgent and asked the owner to serve Governor Mike Sonko's administration ahead of the hearing on July 12.

Although the owner claimed he has all the validations for the business, including approvals and building permits from the county government itself, his plea fell on deaf ears.

A lease between the owner and the landlord had been binding for the better part of their contract until he was slapped with a seven-day notice to bring it down.

“That unless the court urgently intervenes, the applicants are apprehensive that their investment and hard work will end up being ruined thereby occasioning them irreparable loss and damages,” the businessman said in an affidavit.

The piece of land has been marred with controversy dating way back to when Simmers Club was demolished same way.

In May 2019, Sonko was recorded threatening the car wash business claiming it sat on land that did not have approval and would be brought down.
