If you drive from Kitale to Eld, there's so much idle land which i believe is being hoarded.
Those who have lived in the west, you know that the local Govt has a say on what kind of housing is approved on certain locales. If you dont take care of your house it is condemned and sold out. If such a remedy was imposed on our people (of course politics will play against this) don't you think the social conditions of a people would improve? All the glitter we see out there has been forced. Just like it is in Rwanda..on the grass thatched houses.
Only the rich can afford to argue like this. Surely you have no comprehension of the financial state of majority of Kenyans. They lack basic food and you are saying let them eat cake. Wewe ni hiyo rika ya UK eti, " gazetti ni za kufunga nyama"
Not the rich, only an idiot can utter such. Recall when he insisted the poor people living in filthy conditions in the city should make their own roads sijui like Runda people did....... You are dealing with a coke addict ndugu. All his posts have these ma-airs......I consider it so tragic to be richyet so thick
😂😂😂😂😂 which poor person owns flats in the city?
People just enjoy settling for less yet landlords are making a killing off them. Truth be told, the economy is built by the poor and the so called middle-class. The rich make money off you. Stop running your mouths, pause and think about it.
And yes, the govt is only responsible for the road that takes you to the estate, access roads to your house should be catered for by Mr. Money bags landlords. Only those who have lived in Mugoya South C, Nyayo Estates and such like housing arrangements get value for their rent. Wale wa kuruka sewage when the rains pour have settled.
