After years of muted development, Kisii town is slowly transforming into a concrete jungle of note.
Over the last decade, the town has witnessed increased economic activities, resulting in a corresponding demand for housing for both commercial and residential use.
But amid the real estate boom, a worrying trend is emerging: that of stalled buildings, especially high-rise residential buildings, some of which have gone unfinished for close to 10 years.
This is against basic construction rules that dictate that any building must be completed within five years.
