Karen residents demanded the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) halt a Ksh3 billion building project over safety concerns.
In a statement dated Tuesday, January 3, the Karen Langata District Association (KLDA) alleged that the 14-storey building being constructed by PSC did not conform to the standards of the estate.
Karen residents explained that the estate was a residential area adding that such a highrise building would affect homeowners.
The association also argued that their demands to move the project were based on the fact that the government had other parcels of land to host the project.
"KLDA is not against development. However, developments must conform to the Karen Local Physical Development Plan that guides development in Karen, primarily a residential area.
Previously, the association also petitioned the county government over the development of rental apartments undertaken in the area.
