Consequently, the tenants have said they will not attend a planned public participation forum on the project planned scheduled for Monday.
Last week, NMS called for views from tenants of county rental houses to be affected by the planned redevelopment of 10 old Nairobi County estates with public participation to begin Monday, February 8, 2021 at Joseph Kang’ethe Social Hall in Woodley.
However, the tenants through the Woodley Residents Welfare Society (WRWS), have said they will not attend the said public participation claiming NMS did not follow the correct procedure on public participation.
The tenants also allege that the Major General Mohamed Badi-led administration failed to take into account the adverse effects that the redevelopment would have on residents.

Nairobi Landlords Up in Arms Over Cheap Housing Projects

Nairobi landlords have protested various affordable housing projects unveiled in the city by the Chinese and the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS).
The local developers argued that some of the projects especially those by foreign nationals were substandard and circumvented Kenyan laws.
The National Construction Authority (NCA) was accused of failing to regulate the industry. NCA provides licences and inspects the construction of buildings in Kenya.
Projects from China are reportedly undertaken under relatively low budget and are time efficient. Most of the foreign companies are currently building skyscrapers in the posh suburbs in Nairobi.
