This is really sad. Plus There's something fishy going on here. The last phase of this project was started months ago and they have been built at a certain speed which is suspicious to me. (i see progress daily, somehow).. There's definitely Panic among all the neighbor estates, Diamond/Bankers/Current Executive. Not sure about Eagles Plains yet.

@xsk, if its built on land belonging to an individual, then demolition is a solution. If its built on land belonging to Govt, then demolition is not a solution. Ministry of lands/agric appropriated the land from govt to individuals hence what is required are more detailed laws on how idle govt lands should transfer to the public within the confines of law. In other developed countries, they check all idle underutilized govt lands then use well crafted laws to resell the same to the public for development. http://www.parliament.uk...and%20Reform%20Paper.pdf

What you are saying is we legalize grabbing. Demolitions should not spare anyone either on private or public land

@a4a, I disagree with you on this one. illegality remains an illegality irrespective of circumstances.

The buck stops with the cabinet secretary for lands/parliament . If i was to advise her/them on this, i would suggest to borrow from developed countries on how transfer of idle government lands is to be done through creation of land laws like Scotland and other countries are doing. http://www.parliament.uk...and%20Reform%20Paper.pdf In a country like Kenya with rampant corruption and lack of meritocracy at decision making level, implementation and debate of such laws will of-course take huge political tangents but it would be worth the try. In my day to day as an architect, i deal with land appropriation issues in countries around kenya eg rwanda whereby as the towns and cities are expanding, govt is allocating its land to private individuals for development. In such countries, the process is done within set rules/laws/guidelines that are fair. What lacks in Kenya is these laws that are deemed to be fair by all such that @alma and @xzk are given an equal chance to bid for the land. Its a tall order to imagine that govt will utilize all its prime lands in nairobi. fact is that govt will need to appropriate to private sector insted of the land lying idle and benefiting no one exept grasshoppers.
