80% of Nairobians live in informal settlements, like Kibra and Mukuru: the flats they are talking about are not meant to ease slum dwelling: the flats(Including affordable housing) are owned by wadosi to be sold to people working in Qatar and such places. Nairobi will be unlivable in a couple years because most people are lucky to get water once a week, the sewage system has not been expanded for 60 years , road networks and car parking spaces are insufficient, and formalized garbage collection is non existent.
There are genuine questions about Sakaja's education. But that may be beside the point fir the moment. He has become a big let down in running city affairs. He is encouraging urban decay.
Nairobi is not in a vacuum though, there are many neighboring counties with too much land, such as Kajiado and Machakos. What happened to the metropolis dream though?
One of those smooth talkers in Kk..... sewage system in place was not made for that number... politicians being pocketed by Somalis and Chinese developers.
Peoples buy lands outside nairobi come to joska malaa, look my dear ones chemists, hospitals,small hospitals are coming up in nairobi, nearly every building has it's own chemists, this means nairobi is more populated and resources aren't enough, how many times do i have to say this kuja malaa mashamba ni affordable.
If people run to the outskirts of Nairobi with the same mentality that has led to the urban decay in Nairobi, then even those new settlements will just decay the way Nairobi is decaying. It is the mindset that needs to be rewired and not change of location
Tbh The main problem is allowing for beacon to beacon construction ...literally no setbacks ...no plot ratio considerations ... inadequate ventilation and lighting ...impervious surfaces on plots will eventually dry up aquifers cause of no ground water recharge ..... very soon prospective clients won't go for these apartments and developers will have to count their losses...
Nairobi doesn't even have a spatial master plan, it doesn't even state which areas are industrial/residential/commercial/mixed use. We just have knee-jerk reactions, the Embasaki gas explosion occurred in an area that was once classified as a light-industrial area, the fact that the county allowed people to build homes in that area doesn't legally re-classify the area as residential. We then rush to close bars in estates yet most of the bars were built in reserved for commercial purposes within residential areas. The fact that those areas have houses doesn't mean the bars are illegal. All the county does is collect revenue for approval of building plans.
@@michaelotieno6524 Nairobi has a spatial plan and different areas are clearly set out differently for different kinds of development. The challenge of an African is to stick to a plan. Residential buildings are approved in industrial area zones. High rise apartments are approved in zones for single dwelling houses. Corruption, laxity, etc.
Funny governor. He has no sense of quality long-term development. Does Sakaja know what sustainable development is? Sakaja needs to go back to school, the governor must be educated about what town planning is all about. A Nairobi resident needs to be able to walk on foot, or by bicycle safely from dagoreti, dondora, Eastleigh, kilimani, Livingston, buruburu, donholm, from all parts of Nairobi to the other, to town without impediment from vehicular traffic! Nairobi needs free open green spaces. Our connectivity must favour pedestrians not vehicles, quality of living is key what is the point of having high-rise high risk building which prevents free flow of air, sunlight reaching houses increasing lung disease, infections etc in the name of development? Nairobi has the wrong person for the job of governor, clueless. Not every space must be built with high rise development, let development orooer planned development go to the outcast of the city or Nairobi will develop into a dead city.
@@somcode5831 But Beijing is planned. The problem with Nairobi is the habit of country govt leaders, while aware of what the plan states, do the exact opposite. It has a common disease with Africans - a race that chooses not to stick to a plan beyond a season.
Kenya is 582,646 km2... Of which Nairobi is approx 646km2... Surely, 582,000 km2 is available.... It's never that serious to live in Nairobi...at the rate we're developing....other towns will be as good as living in Nairobi..
Nairobi will become one big slum. Everyone erecting buildings of all shapes & sizes since there's no controlled development. By 2027 you'll be looking at Nairobi and weep.
Will infrastructure really accommodate this? And if there is water rationing now what about when they build skyscrapers all over Nairobi? What about environment?🙄🙄🙄😮💨
Upgrade the old estates first and please provide water and improve on drainage, build more roads, improve on garbage collection, let those people live in the houses they want, the foreigners who are putting up those flats should move to the Eastern bypass
Why don't we think about developing other counties and cities as well? Decentralisation can help us grow economically and empower local industries therefore providing more reliable and hopefully sustainable livelihoods.
This is what happens when someone with a fake degree assumes one of the most important offices in the country, but Kenyans never learn. So to all who voted for him, reap what you have sown.
Governor instead of allowing the building you should be thinking of how you will reduce pollution through planting trees and ensuring there is good sanitation can't you see the hazards in the growing population in Nairobi
Instead of making Nairobi a concrete jungle, we should limit the height, and the areas where those tall buildings are built. Besides, focus should now be in mashinani so that overpopulation of Nairobi and other urban areas is brought down.
Ati those areas are for rich people and poor people are coming…. Nairobi population is increasing it’s up to those owners up there mind and buld better sewage system and build apartments move to nanyuki
Building up is not sustainable, but building out of the city is the best long-term solution for the next 50 to 100 years. There's no sewage treatment plant being built that can handle 10 million people! They need to plant more trees and have green open spaces that will absorb all the toxic carbon emissions from the massive traffic jams. The plan should be to decongest the city NOT add more congestion and traffic!
Hiyu mtu anongea nini yani unatarajia Nairobi iwe kijiji sai wankata miti wakijenga nyumba Zenyewe zinashikanishwa hakuna njia , Nairobi imekushida ni chafu badala ujengee hawkers soko matatu zitafutiwe kiwanja Nairobi iwe classic bure kabisaa badi angekua tungekua mbali i regret voting for you next time i will not try.
There are many cities in the world including Newyork city where tall residential apartments are the norm even in posh neighbourhoods such as the billionaire's mile. The residents of kile and Lavington who are Complaining are just jealous disgruntled landlords who wants to continue extorting tenants with sky high rental prices in their colonial houses. Thanks Sakaja for your wisdom.
...ehh...also accept stolen elections have detrimental consequences.... ..since independence..only such incompetence has been forced down ppls throats....
We should spread out development. We should have actualized the plan to make Isiolo the administrative capital. Hopefully Sakaja doesn't simply want to be an overlord over 10 million people. Even if we get sewerage and garbage management etc right, the streets are narrow and can't support too much more of unplanned development.
On my 5th floor domicile in K South in the far east, I'll be prouder than most folks in the Midwest. Go hard governor, it's the houses Nairobians need, and for a fact we need high-rise apartments to substantially offset the deficit. East yote nyuma yako GVN 047
Have you heard of sustainable development and healthy living? Reckless putting up of mortar and bricks doesn't qualify for development. Governor needs to go back to school or hire planning professionals and learn about town planning and promotion of healthy living.

You want to build more with same infrastructure since independence!!

Hehehe hehehe 😅
Nairobi should not be the only city let's move outside and leave this town to become a ghost
Am sure you are talking from kajiado wewe.
That’s the future of Nairobi I tell you.
Anza, tunakufuata nyuma!
And thats how he became a one term Governor

People working in Qatar??how did you do research about it.
Why can't you give it a try and see who benefits ....wacheni uoga ..shenzi😂
Lies everywhere
If all do 50 floors and above small land area will accommodate more population.. and that the solution of avoiding concrete jungle town

Agreed. Those who voted for UDA have no right to complain.
The Gov should develop new cities si Kila kitu lazima iwe Nairobi,overcrowded n chaotic
Machakos and Kajiado are not in Nairobi County
Useless governor go to school
Being governor doesn't look to be an enjoyable job for this man.

Apartments are eye sore. Jungle of concrete.
Make the city more green and liveable. Not jungle concrete with open sewage and dirty roads.

Where is the land for sewer expansion? You grabbed Ruai sewer land with your boss there.

Thats a good job keep up the good work sakaja especially lavington we have barons who are stopping us from building up
Nairobian you wasted your votes on this guy
Sakaj must ....?
This line of thinking is DUMB. Horizonal than vertical? the main focus is scaling infrastructure outward not inward. Hio 2050 tutacheza hii dumb clip!
Uzembe on its feet
All we need is a good Rail network, and we'll build horizontally not vertically in Kiambu, Kajiado, Machakos.
Guy is speaking like a paid Fellow.
Even Nairobi is only 40% occupied.
Expect floods and then climate change money come in.

Hehehe Teams graduate😂
He is making sense
And he is smart
Next election is coming, bwana sifuna we need you to our governor
Much as I like the old green underpopulated Nairobi, the population is growing. Just like any other modern city, we must accept the apartment blocks.
