These demolitions started out well but now trust some people to foul the waters.Sad Sad

Quote:
Two companies associated with Nairobi businessman Rahim Chatur have moved to the High Court seeking protection against alleged threat by Nairobi City County, which they say has given notice over alleged lack of building approvals.

Gemini Properties Limited and Scorpion Properties Limited claim that the Mike Sonko-led administration issued them with a notice that lapses on August 16 and is apprehensive that their buildings could be demolished.

Gemini Properties Limited, which owns New Muthaiga Estate building, says that it was given seven days to provide approved plans, occupation plans and in absence to vacate the building for demolitions.

Quote:
Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has suspended the construction of AVIC Tower on Waiyaki Way on grounds that it’s partly built on public land.

The cost of constructing the Chinese-owned building, adjacent to Villa Rosa Kempinski Hotel, is estimated to be Sh6.9 billion.

“We have suspended the construction and arrested over 15 contractors who include 10 Chinese nationals," County Director of Communications Elkana Jacob told the Star by phone on Thursday.

According to the charge sheet, the contractors will be charged with erecting the building without approved plans, contrary to Section 30(2) of the Physical Planning Act.

Stopping of Avic towers is ridiculous. Do they plan on blowing up seven high-rise towers because of sidewalks the contractors were forced to build in the first place?

which tax? import, income, fuel based, VAT, corporate, I think we should only allow the corporations who pay taxes to vote.


I think we can start with a threshold, say, Kes.500,000 p.a. The rest of the idiots stay at home and wait for the outcome. Ofcourse we have clueless morons in that income bracket but they are the minority. Their stupid choices would never see end of day.


Please try to reason without emotional blanket statements.

Otherwise this 'Kenya belongs to the rich' attitude sounds 'stupid' in the first place...

Please come down from your Ivory towers. Are teachers are not qualified to vote? This is how much teachers earn after the 2015 pay rise:

Breakdown of teachers salary pay rise

a P1 teacher at Job Group ‘G’ will earn Ksh 26,707 up from Sh16,692
which amounts to an increase by Sh10,015 from
their previous pay.

Those at Job Group ‘H’commonly graded as ATS IV will take home Ksh
30,530 up from Ksh. 19,323. This translates to a
jump by Ksh. 11,207.

On the other hand, tutors at Job Group ‘J’commonly referred to as Graduate Approved
Teacher III (GAT III) who have been getting amonthly salary of Ksh24,662 will now be walking
home with Sh38,473, representing a pay rise of Sh13,811 while their counterparts at Job Group
‘K’ (GAT II) who have been earning Sh31,020 will now be paid Ksh48,391 translating to a leap of
Ksh17,371.

Job Group ‘L’ which draws educators from Graduate Approved Teacher I (GAT I) category
will now secure Ksh56, 020 up from Ksh35,910 they earned previously, representing an
increment of Ksh20,110 while a Senior Graduate Approved Teacher at Job Group ‘M’ who has
been earning Ksh 41,590 will now make Sh64,049 monthly accounting for a salary rise of
Ksh 22,459.

Principal Graduate Approved Teacher (PRIN GAT III) at Job Group ‘N’ will run away with
Ksh74,213 up from Ks48,190, representing an increase of Ksh26,023.

A Principal Graduate Approved Teacher at Job Group ‘P’ who has been pocketing Sh77,527 will draw a good Ksh
116,291, translating to an increment of Sh38,764.

At the same time, Senior Principal teachers at Job Group ‘Q’ will now receive Ksh134,622 up
from Sh89,748, translating to an increment of Ksh44,874 while Chief Principals at Job Group

If he asked for cash his ass would have been in jail by now. Sonko one hard nut to bribe. Problem is why are people encroaching? If this was private property would they have encroached?

We wish to inform the general public especially people residing around parklands, westlands and Riverside that we have this morning stopped the construction of the AVIC INTERNATIONAL BUILDING along the waiyaki way/ Chiromo road and arrested all the Chinese and kenyan contactors on site for defying the county planning laws by encroaching on the famous Chiromo close public access which is a feeder road to Chiromo lane which feeds Chiromo road and then waiyaki way. The said AVIC international have even refused to do a public surrender on the property they acquired as provided for in the county laws. It is alleged that they paid a substantial under table amount totalling to 2 million dollars equivalent 200,000,000/= in cash to the previous administration as protection fee and we should confirm that with the current staff in the building plans approval department Bosses who are still with us. I'm also aware that my officer have also arrested the site manager a Mr. ZHANG ZYENYA whose name has not being included in charge sheet after promising to pay pay a bribe of thousands of dollars in cash to my staff. Tuko radar yao wacha wakule pesa watajua hawajua. I SWEAR Kuanzia Tito kilonzi head of security compliance, Kathenge head of planning and approvals, arresting officers and the county prosecutor you will all go home by end of today.

All the suspects are facing charges of erecting a building structure without approved plans contrary to section 30(1) of the Physical Planning Act.

My administration will continue with the ongoing operation targeting rogue contractors and private developers who perpetrate acts of impunity and land grabbing.

Authorities to Taj Mall owners: Bring it down in two weeks

This Indian Taj Mall owner can go to hell, this kind of arrogance must be arrested ASAP. I dont think any African would speak so rudely to Indian authorities if they built on road reserves in Delhi. I can only imagine how rude he is to his employees !

If you think rich people are the bright ones to steer Kenya then you are unexposed. Kenya sio US where you get rich through brilliance and determination. 90% of Kenya's rich are nothing special, they just got lucky with some deals somewhere through kujuana. Get off your high horse
