Though she sheould have taken it for the sake of the land. Pole kwake, what a loss!!!

Lakini kusema ukweli that house in ugly yawa & to imagine it is a gift from PORK whose one of the economic pillars is housing. I know we will soon forget and move on but hapo wameangusha rais. They should have done something small but decent, just saying  In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience.

The house could have some historic significance after all. It resembles the Lodwar cells where the Kapenguria six were detained.  Truth forever on the scaffold

How is it ugly? You go to many of the govt staff quarters and that is how the govt builds houses. Very cost effective rectangular 2 bdrm houses.  Also regarding that window on the rejected house, you only need to hire a fundi for a day to allign the window to your liking. .

While the woman was complaining that the compound was full of weeds, the new owner is busy preparing the land to plant some sukuma and other crops in the coming rains.

You can make the floor (slab??) level in which case the windows will be on the same level. Otherwise your house would have two levels maybe separated by one or two steps - in this case it would make sense to have a lower window.

I am now fully surprised this house seems to have a flushable toilet inside....wow! And there is a neighbor home nearby,so it's not isolated as earlier claimed. That woman will continue using a communal filthy latrine...what a sad decision she made! Portfolio: Sold

Compared to Zuma's low cost houses/US/USSR/Ekeza concrete jingles, this is a beauty. I'm sure if it was I & I, would have secured it kwanza then talk with Banda homes after I'm given the title

They set expectations with this house built for the Deputy President so Kenyans have expectations. How dare you give DP a palace and give Damaris a kibanda ? Eeeh?
