Thats a point. I am looking at Google world and I can see the railway line traverses the area, is this a good or bad thing? are there plans to introduce decent commuter trains to and from Thika because this would definitely be a big plus?
The problem with swampy ground is that the existing ground is poor for the building and infrastructure foundations and even though, with a good engineer, someone may excavate and tip off site the existing material and then replace with imported fill(after efectively draining the swamp), there are always issues with differential settlement of thick depths of fill founded on unsuitable ground. secondly, swamps take long to clear because much of the water is underground, therefore we cannot rule out seepage through the fill leading to issues with dampness of the walls and localised collapse of made up ground.
Are there any available plots not at/near the swamp? How much are the plots going for?
Just like in F1, it's all in the telemetry
