Karen Residents Reject Govt's Ksh3 Billion Project in Estate

Quote:

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.

Way to go. Nikinunua nyumba 90 million .I do not expect somebody to overlook my compound. What if am a nudist and i want to enjoy my pool peacefully.

Bado Karen land ni 1acre minimum ama imekuwa kama Runda pahali acre watu wanagawana nyumba 4

Ata sisi watu wa Mlolongo tumesema hatutaki hiyo project. Send it to Kiserian.

Ata sisi wa Kiserian tumekataa, send it to Moqdishu

Si gava ipeleke hio 3b lower Karen aka kibra and phase out the mabati houses

0.5. Though huko pande za Kerarapon unapata quarter

Good thinking

Uongo !

Believe it or not some of the owners of those mabati houses live in Karen.

Which part?

Quarter acre for .5M in Kerarapon. Maybe 25 years ago

Karen Bado minimum ni 1acre. Birrionaires wamemantain iyo class yao

Karen started as 20acres, then 10, then 5, then 1acre sasa ni half acre.

Sasa price umetoa wapi. I was replying to the question about minimum acrage. 0.5 acres

I see.

Karen walikua wamekataa road from rongai via co-op university ijengwe BUT eventually ilijengwa na imereduce jam ya magadi road.

Sasa kujengwa road ingine from matasia through Karen itokelezee pale Karen hospita.

Na hio ni maendeleo.

Karen minimum has always been 0.5 acres. 20 acres is what mzungu farmers used to buy.

0.5 acres ndio minimum.

Ya Merisho iko na lami, i think inaenda kushikana na Gataka rd.
