Hehehe. @mtu wa Forbes list ana delegate civic duty kwa watu wa 'Yetu'! Hii ni Yangu kaka.... why am I paying more than what is required? It's an illegal tax. It's one thing to put it up as an entry cost and requirement so that I agree to foot it or decide not to and stay in giza but to have the cahones to tell me that I should now buy it or else face jail time or a 1 million shilling fine is down right illegal taxation. Ata mimi hio amri sikuelewa. And its on maji ya kuoga. What if I force my family to shower in cold water? Why should I be forced to install a hot water solar panel? Maybe they should do this to new estate constructions What is the law, please fafanua.... https://www.nation.co.ke...97944-s17mvo/index.html
Quote:The law requires owners of residential and commercial houses, whose hot water needs exceed 100 litres per day, to include solar water heating systems in their building designs.
The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) said in a notice that it will begin enforcing the Energy (Solar Water Heating) Regulations 2012 on May 27 when the grace period it provided last year comes to a close.
“Beginning next month, ERC and police officers attached to the commission will start conducting surveillance to ascertain compliance,” Pavel Oimeke, the ERC’s acting director-general, said.
“Where we confirm non-compliance, the law requires that we issue the building owner with a six-month notice to instal the equipment failing which we shall charge them.”
This solar law covers residential premises (three-bedrooms and above), health institutions, restaurants and hotels, boarding schools and other similar commercial operations.
The ERC’s preliminary audits show that 150,000 of three million buildings (both new and old) have installed hot water systems – leaving thousands in the regulator’s crosshairs. it's really a silly 'law'/code/decree All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
