Quote:Kitengela residents have opted to raise own funds for construction of a Sh39 million sewer line after years of unfulfilled promises by county and national governments that has left them exposed to infectious diseases.
The residents, comprising at least 279 landlords with property in the Export Processing Zone Authority (EPZ) area, are the sole financiers of the project that seeks to improve hygiene and sanitation in the area. The EPZ neighbourhood has been picked to pilot the project that promoters hope to extend to the wider Kitengela township.
The sewer line that seeks to cover 45 kilometres and join the EPZA Athi River Sewerage system in neighbouring Machakos County will benefit at least 300 rental flats and 100 homes with a population of more than 20,000 is set to be operational in six months.

Rental flats need to be connected to a sewer line thats why the 279 landlords have come together, but for private homes on even a 50x100 one can do a septic tank or biodigester. Hata huko karen and runda hakuna sewer line but a septic can serve you for ages.

Awesome development! We should do the same with feeder roads in the estates as well!

I like this, we recently collected funds along our access road had it graded, murrum and compacted plus a decent drain done, plus had all the street lights repaired,all for 150k which was only about 2,500 per person
sometimes we need to do it ourselves since if we wait for our taxes to trickle down we shall continue to live
in degrading environments. To Each His Own

You guys are just dummies.
You pay taxes,no?
What are they supposed to do? Take the Mpigs gashungwa to itarey?
I mean no wonder you are used and abused all the time. If you paid for taxes, then raise the funds and remove the fool who should be building the brary road.
What are you going to build next time? Probably fund the salaries for your cops. Why not just build public toilets. I mean, the kenyan voter can't be that dumb? ooopps IT is.
Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?

Kenyans are funny. They buy 1m plots in the middle of nowhere without power, sewer, roads, security, fibre, basic facilities and building regulations. They then build a 20m mansion on the plot. Si afadhali people buy a 4m plot in a controlled development like Migaa then build a 16m house? Life is short. Live passionately.

If only all home owners in the suburbs, including the dustbowl , would do the same. Just like karen, runda, loresho, lavington etc were all transformed from coffee farms to what they are today. One can create his own "muthaiga" wherever he lives and all suburbs would be leafy.
It's already happening. Dustbowl towns are still very new. Most homes in Kitengela for example are less than 5 years old! So the trees have not had time to grow. Prior to this it was open plains and the Maasai made short work of all the budding trees and grass. Now that the properties are being fenced the trees that have been planted can grow unhindered. As more people inevitably develop their plots, the more leafy the place will be. What amazes me the most are those fellows who put cabro on 100% of their plots yet have a single bungalow or maisonette on it. I cannot imagine living in a place like that with no trees or shrubs!

Some Kenyans are even funnier. Why are they so worried daily that other Kenyans have chosen dustbowl and do not want to be their neighbours at Migaa? Si they start a Migaa thread where the wonders, beauties and financial brilliance of investing there can be extolled day and nite? :)

Yes indeed we are dummies. Does it pain you that we are dummies? Let dummies be while your tax shillings develop that neighbourhood where you are as we speak (by the way is there anywhere in Kenya, even in Runda and Muthaiga where our tax shillings have been put to perfect use? If you choose to wait for the day that will happen then we are happy for you. Sisi twasonga mbele in our own small ways upende usipende, serikali or no serikali. I love this concept though. Gives the property owners a sense of ownership in their own neighbourhoods. Someone who has a stake in something is less likely to damage it and will glady help in maintaining it. That's how the concept of gated communities came about. If you wait for serikali to come build your toilet and your road inside your gated community you might wait 300 years baba. Run for president and change this for us otherwise it is a waste of time telling us what we already know :)

I don't know which school you went to but 320 landlords in Kitengela is not a "gated community". That's the beginning of uncontrolled developments aka slums.
So the next 150 landlords start building theirs and soon enough the gov't does nothing but preaches how you should all own your community and build your own roads.
I mean come on.
Those landlords are silly. They've been had, been took and bamboozled. So where are they going to dump their shit, for a lack of a better word. At the county waste disposal unit? Who's going to pay for it? the county? Who's going to manage it? they county.
My fren this is a very slippery slope. If you want good housing follow sparkly's advise and stop buying buroti maguta maguta. If you want to be a slum lord, there's a thread on wazua on the exact process. You can't be both.
If these slumlords really see a need for building shit holes, then they should organize themselves and start voting in like minded individuals.
It would be cheaper. I can guarantee that.
Ara.
