Stop the loss of title deeds in city housing projects
What you need to know:
- Despite being granted city status several years ago, Nakuru remains the only metropolis in Kenya without its own airport.
- Everything has gone quiet on the planned construction of unity bridge to create a new connection between Kenya and Uganda.
Title deeds • Can the Nairobi City County government explain the frequent loss of its title deeds for Pangani Housing Project and Jeevanjee Estate Limited? Kennedy Alpha Sanya pleads. He’s curious as to why this is happening as the construction is still on-going and bank loans have been taken. “Or is it a game? Complete the housing project and leave a legacy.” His contact is [email protected].

Airport heist • Despite being granted city status several years ago, Nakuru remains the only metropolis in Kenya without its own airport, says Mary Muthoni. “By 2021, the first phase of the airport was expected to have been finished. To date, there is absolutely no hope of its completion happening within the next three years. Is there an airport heist in the works?” Her email address is [email protected].

Unity bridge • Everything has gone quiet on the planned construction of the unity bridge to create a new connection between Kenya and Uganda, moans Dave Tumbula. “The murram road from Matayos to Muluanda in Funyula constituency has become worse with no indication of tarmac coming soon. Just how long will the project take? The unity bridge will change this part of Busia County for the better.”

Toilet trauma • His New Year’s wish for 2025, Brian Maitai says, is quite simple. “I just want the Nairobi City County to spend a mere Sh200 million to put up at least 30 or 40 public toilets. Some tourists once asked me where they could relieve themselves. I quickly directed them to a hotel because I feared the trauma they would suffer in a public toilet in this capital city.” His contact is [email protected].

Poor models • Though some young people’s postings online “may be unacceptable, they creatively expose the ills in society”, says Ruth Gituma. “While it’s important for politicians to address inappropriate online behaviour by youth, they must also lead by example. The use of vulgar language by politicians sets a bad precedent. They should be models on appropriate conduct.” Her contact is [email protected].
Have an exemplary day, won’t you!
