Trouble is brewing in one of Kenya’s most prestigious residential estates, Runda, following a fallout between some tenants and officials of their association.
At the heart of the dispute is a delayed election, the process of nominating new officials to replace those whose term has expired and the quality of services offered by the association.
On June 21, 2021, a section of members wrote to Runda Association over the anticipated elections, complaining that to office bearers were locking out some of the tenants and homeowners.

Court of Appeal president Justice William Ouko is facing the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) interviewing panel this morning.
As he seeks to become the next Chief Justice and Judge of the Supreme Court, Ouko is likely to follow in the footsteps of retired CJ David Maraga who had disagreements with other arms of government in defending the Judiciary.
He is among the judicial officers who have been vocal, putting pressure on President Uhuru Kenyatta to appoint 41 judges, 10 of which were nominated to sit at the Court of Appeal.
