Also huko majuu the govt knows where everyone lives. Every citizen's address is known hata kama ni huko 6th floor kwa flat they know your house number and number of occupants.

Hapa KE as long as you give the caretaker 2 months rent deposit and 2500 deposit ya meter ya stima, you move into the house pap. And then all your relatives or buddies can join you in that house with no questions asked.

That is not possible in a country where many move into urban areas to look for jobs. Also omatata would go to the supreme court to claim its unconstitutional and an affront to basic human rights for a landlord to deny a tenant a house because the tenant hasn't provided proof of income.

Anyway even in ke they are getting there thanks to technology. As long as you have a power meter they know where you live coz they have GPS locations of all prepaid and postpaid power meters. All they have to do is key in your name or ID or tel number in the computer and pap your house gps location pops up.

WHO OWNS DUSIT D2 COMPLEX?

The Dusit Thani Group of companies - Bangkok

My condolences to all affected. I find it strange for al shabab to claim the attack was aimed at america, when we very well know it was westgate style attack done to 'comemorate' el adde attack. All this points to revenge for Kenya's participation in Amisom. The only explanation is that all shabab are desperate to attract funding from al qaida HQ hence wanted to show they're pursuing al qaida objectives

Hata huko majuu, your relatives can move in with you. I am sure you have heard stories about how illegal mexicans live 10 relatives in one studio apartment.

Lakini what is so difficult about requiring each tenant in Kenya to produce ID card before they can rent a home?

A renter would then think twice before living with a terrorist who has a cache of weapons.

Either we start making small changes or we go through the same cycle of terror every few years. Kwani Omtata can't be defeated in court?

Terrorists do not walk around with documents indicating that they are terrorists. Neither do they inform their land lords that they are terrorists. Also a neighbor or landlord can not storm a tenants house looking for weapons because that is against privacy laws. They can only report to the police who would then get a search warrant from the courts. So your statement that "a renter would then think twice before living with a terrorist who has a cache of weapons" is total nonsense.

SO one has a facebook profile picture of these people. I am surprised the only face I have seen in the paper is Kemunto's.

I don't know if you can have that many relatives move into a rental apartment without raising the alarm with either the Landlord or the home owners association (HOA), if there is one. But it is possible if you own the place. Typically, where there is an HOA, it specifies the occupation limits of a place on a long term basis.

On renting out apartments; from my experience, any potential renter has to have a background check done, the results of which the landlord uses to accept or deny to rent out their property. Such information includes: credit report, Rental history, recent bankruptcy, most recent judgment, collection accounts, evictions, recent late payment, misdemeanor and felonies, etc. It also queries several databases related to narcotics, terrorism, sex offender and traffic records. This does help to weed out most would be problematic renters before you sign that lease agreement.
