Great idea

This estate was the envy of all not so long ago. I lived there but moved recently due to the perennial water problem. I even made enquiries to NWSC to find out what the problem was, and the answer I got was not good enough, something to the tunes of the pipe supplying water to Nyayo had been tapped by other users from donholm, tassia, pipeline etc
However there have been discussions of having NSSF sink boreholes for soooo long now, and the estate managers kept saying they are in discussions for these boreholes to be sunk immediately, lakini wapi.
Here are some of my suggestions but I doubt any can even get to both the developer and manager!


3. Flats have the biggest water issue and the main cause for this are tenants having taps on the meters on ground floor and fetching water directly from there and the recent one of colluding with the estate managers office team in putting PUMPS huko underground and literary "sucking" all the little water being pumped into the flats thus making other flatmates miss out on fetching...... I doubt this

4. Divide the estate into two and have another estate manager come in. Managing soooo many units can be overwhelming. Are you aware they even stopped sweeping and cleaning the estate as frequently as they used to? Common area is totally neglected! Some areas that were well lit have become totally dark and this poses a security risk? Say the truth, bwana!


Otherwise the once enviable Nyayo Estate will be a shell of itself by 2020, and you can take that to the bank! If buru buru is not a shell by now Nyayo will not be in our life time.

Ok now we are talking. what does the residents association do? They seem very useless!

Seeing as the local market is well aware of the challenges on the ground. The diaspora doesn't have to know... The management issue needs to be brought to the attention of the Managing Trustee.

some of the people are plain misleading us. if the first borehole was sunk years ago and is still in use, why wld one claim that a second borehole cannot be sunk. all the same, the water issue is one that needs to be addressed by managing trustee office. iv set up #nyayoestate on twitter to get the buzz going. let us demand for our money's worth

I visited the estate and was impressed by the general look. The lawns are well maintained. The place looks clean. The houses look smaller than I thought but the size is standard for all phases.
As for the water issue, they are in the process of sinking 5 boreholes which should resolve the water issue for good. I want to believe this is a permanent solution. The boreholes and connection should be done by November.

That aside, can they also act on the other 5 points??? score so far 16% improvement....too slow d'oh!

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.
