Here in UK we have houses as old as 300-500yrs old houses which the county council maintain as they continue building others in various spaces in the UK. White people do not trouble their citizens. Build new estates, then move these people into the new ones. Then repair, renovate and maintain the old ones for the purpose of house other people at a cheaper rate. To build new houses you do not have to demolish the old ones. Acquire land elsewhere and build new houses for your citizens. This is my take.
Agreed! Where exactly do they expect people to go to find shelter??
Someone attacked me for saying we need to keep these places and develop the city outwards instead of concentration of development inwards
The government should build one or two affordable flats in phases, move the families there instead of misplacing families not knowing where to start from in this difficult times
Agreed 💯👍🏿
True
Hizo nyumba zimepitwa na wakati, asbestos is harmful to your health.
True, asbestos is a serious issue to peoples health
Asbestos is only harmful to your health when you disturb it. If left untouched, it's okay. It's will actually be more harmful to those incharge of demolition and disposal
Houses in Jerusalem, Jericho, Lumumba, Maringo-highrise have good structures all they need to do is remove the roofing and put new ones. Those Houses were built by the Israelis and you can see there was no flooding in those estates
go to Europe,you will get houses that are more than 200yrs are are maintained.people like tou you might be going to see those houses for historic purposes.
How about starting with the slum estates; Kibera,Mathare then go to ziwani etc
Remove those slums... preserve what?
Fear of change
Preserve why? All those houses need to demolished and built new homes
Tukaishi kwako...ama?.
.
The guy who is standing in ziwani house number 38 is my father's long time friend and our neighbors too he's called (mongolo). My grandfather lived in ziwani, heft behind the house to my father and now I'm the owner of the house and I'm a landlord too,stop talking I'll about our matrimonial homes, you don't know the joy and happy moments we had in these house, tunapanda hadi mboga hapa kwetu, hatutaki gorafa tafadhali, achana na nyumba zetu 😂😂
Mambo imechange na Gava haitambui. Hizi nyumba ziliharibiwa na extensions na poor sewer system.
Ziwani na Jericho zilikuwa kama Runda
@@erickkwanga1314Then they should repair the sewer and order extension to be removed🤷🏽♀️
These houses of yours are an eyesore.
Una title deed
Those houses should be demolished hapa simpingi RUTO.preserve them for what..?
You are inhuman.
Yaani so many of you here don’t care if fellow Kenyans suffer and become homeless. Where are people from a whole 7 estates expected to go to find other housing? Ruto should build housing elsewhere then move the people in instead of evicting Kenyans bila plan. Watch and see what happens to the new housing, it’s likely that very few of the original residents will be able to go back to their estates. And because there will be resistance, wait and see how whole estates will be burned to the ground, and the Collateral damage. History repeats itself.
Demolish those houses. Watu waache ujinga
Hi well come
Iam somaalia
😂😂😂😂😂 imagine defending poverty in the name of history
@@MustafMiidowyou’re who?
@@Izzy_B241 imagine ati historical houses, hizo nyumba zimechakaa sana.
What matters is to have a good urban renewal plan, not just houses. We need to consider good recreational spaces, transport links, commercial and adminstrative spaces that tie with the residence. Secondly, engage the community diring the entire design process to ensure their needs are met and that we aren't developing future ghettos. Thirdly, I'm sure there are some historically significant elements that need to preserved. Those should be identified and their use included in a new plan. If this isn't done, the project will quite honestly not add value.
For this I to totally support.Change should be embraced.History should not be an excuse,It is like saying that we continue wearing hides and skins to preserve history.
😂😂😂😁😀i tottally agree
I conquer😂
If people didn't live there, it would be okay. Where do they go in the meantime, and they have lived there for decades, long before you were born? Some of the residents of these houses are very old. There must be a temporary arrangement for them in the meantime. Let's stop regarding Kenyans as commodities. They are human.
😂😂😂
Bomoa kibera na mathare those slums are giving out a bad show for Nairobi, how can it be the best city in East Africa na kuna slums kwa city...Time for change na pia Nairobi river inafaa kusafishwa bana .... Kwani watu ni kipofu
Government doesn't own slums
Wow 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are private properties there.
It's being done through affordable housing
@@xxtegamerxxroblox9843 which affordable housing we nawe .... What has cleaning a river have to do with building houses 😂..
Why can’t they start with slums like kibera, Soweto Kayole, mukuru yote before wanze na hizi
Sababu government doesn't own slums... Hizo places zote umesema ziko owned na raia
My question exactly, but I think it's because ownership laws.
Zakayo alisema mukuru ni city already 😂
Reason is someone will pocket something. There's nothing to eat in kibra project.
We. Understand. From. Bottom. Up. 😂😂😂
They should have been maintained like Old Town in Mombasa and Lamu! However, some of them should be preserved for historical purposes to generate revenue from tourism in the future. Homes in Europe are hundreds of years old and they're all properly maintained and Kenyans should do the same.
Totally agree 💯 its a shame poverty and greed are to blame...Tom Mboya house should be preserved as part of our national heritage.
It's probably only in Kenya where the European colonization left a permanent psychological damage to the Africans mind. Kenyans who travel, or live overseas can confirm seeing preserved historic figures, places, museums, buildings, sports hall of fame, amusement parks, etc. People spend lots of money to visit, or tour such places. All over Western Europe, the Americas, Asia and even in some African countries: West African, Egypt, Ethiopia, to mention a few, they have preserved their national history. Kenya is exceptional! The Whiteman came, found no formal government, but tribal and ethnic groupings. Each tribe had their own traditional rulers and Oral History. To the colonizers, the African cultures, traditions & norms, were considered primitive and had to be replaced by the Whiteman's religion & education system. We should preserve our historic figures, important places and historic events for the future generation.
Recently I was surprised that a neatly kept small house on a street I always take to work in Dallas City, Texas, was a historic place. The sign on the front yard caught my eyes. It read, "Lee Harvey Oswald Rooming House Museum." Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin of the 35th American President, John F. Kennedy, Nov. 22, 1963. The world's historical places attracts lots of visitors yearly. People travel and spend a lot of money to see some unique places in the world. Kenya must learn from other countries how to preserve the Historical national land marks, a good example is T.J. Mboya's old apartment in Ziwani. The house should be saved and made a museum. The museum will pay its own maintenance from fees collected from visitors.
The Archeologists, Interior Ministry, Tourism, Education and Historians, should take charge of cataloging and writing facts about each of the historic places, buildings, events, etc.
@@solomonogado5505 A lot of historical buildings that were used by the freedom fighters to organize meetings before independence by KAU members like my grandfather, Muinga Chokwe and Mboya in Nairobi are in disrepair. It's a shame that most Kenyans are not interested in preserving history for future generations.
Start by upgrading the sewer system as it can't cope with the current developments in Nairobi.
London exists as a tourism hub because of the old structures
Not slums
Excuses!!!
Excuse me those are delabitated houses
But we also have the pyramids in Egypt. Intact
Will slums attract tourists?
Why not renovate them for historical purposes
Slum history or what history? Bomoa hizo vibanda zote high rise building zijengwe.
Kuna nn apa ya kuapgrade
History we can keep photos
Ppl who live in these old houses for years should be given priority when the houses are done 😮.
We have mud structures. These are old but we have worse. Mukuru R and N. Kibra, and Mathare, Koch.....why does this not add up?
Even Qatar is very developed but they still preserve their historical Arabic houses very old ones
If Nairobi county had a working system, they'd have refurbished, maintained, or built up better homes, and they'd have benefited the citizens of Kenya. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and old houses like these could be having asbestos, which is such a hazard to human health. Hopefully, they can do better with the new upcoming projects.
But why should people be given priority when they have lived their from their grandparents, time to let other people also enjoy fruits of independence. Also urban renewal is not demolition of older houses which should be preserved for historical values!
They know once they move out different occupants will be brought in after the projects are complete
Yeap, Gentrification.
This is another conplan and steal it will end with the rich akina governor 😢😢😢 na wenzake wenye pesa zimeemda tukiangalia
We have slums why demolish estate?
Its about time that the houses be rebuild into that programme of Affordable housing.
Some important historic features have to be preserved
Wee,watu wataenda kubomoa,na vile najuwa kaloleni ,makongeni ,shaurimoyo residents, labda Gsu itawekwa aki
True watu wa eastlando wacha tu
How about building the new houses away from the area. Move the people and renovate the old house as a heritage for our future generations. Must we always pull buildings down and cut deals with developers ? I believe if the houses / grounds can be restored . Trees and vegetation restored that would add beauty and enhance our environment around the the city.
If they were maintained we would not have the issues other places nyumba ya mbao is still standing after 100 years
We move on
Those estates need a facelift for sure, history is of no use now.
Some of the houses marked for demolition are legally constructed with land title deeds. The government should consider compensation before demolition because the demarcation was done by their surveyors. What is the mistake of such a developer who did everything legally?
Politics of primitivity,preserve what now?people should evolve from old and past lifestyle and mentalities
Manyangau wanataka kunyakuwa na wajenge yao wenyewe
@@AaAa-rx1ug Manyang'au walitolewa, huu ni wakati mwengine toa uoga. Wakenya wengi bado hawajaamini kuwa rais Ruto anawatakia watu wa chini mambo mema. Wacheni hizo nyumba zibomolewe mujengewe nyumba nzuri.
Are they museums😂😂
Memories are good
Government must be humane. We all know that UDA wants to grab this land, then people currently in government will "own" these houses. However if they insist, then the houses shouldn't be those ugly high rise apartments being built under affordable housing, the owners must be the current residents
Giving 2 months notice to residents to vacate is cruel. Give them 6 months at least.
Watu wa ocha wanataka zibomolewe
And where will the current people living in those houses
Those are few compared to the rising population that require housing.Lets figure out and sort the future.
Rent elsewhere, change is painful just for a short time then enjoy later
You'll own nothing and be happy
In developed countries, they preserve historical buildings. They also ensure that they are maintained well
Old houses usually cost more than newer houses
Kenys isn't development country it's a shithole
Well Mt Kenya was near Nairobi and most were ancestral places e g Uthiru, murangs etc for sure songoi was far so place yourself in their shoes
Start with kibera mathare, korogocho, mkuru kwa Jenga Reuben.
You casual....Because these are in GOVERNMENT OWNED LAND! Educate yourself
It's about time, change is the only constant. However, do it in a humane manner and compensate Kenyans.
Wangeanza na Kiambio, Korogosho, SInai, Mathare North na slums zingine around hiyo area
This houses are ancestral and have been passed down for generations. The solution is not building houses in every single space in Nairobi. There are thousands of Acres of free government land & it is very suspicious they want to remove citizens living in prime areas. There are government houses in Mathare , Kariobangi and huruma but they just want prime land.
Hawataweza. Kama unaishi huko utaelewa
Chinese developers, Sakaja and Ruto enter the chat
Right?? And after the new housing is built, do you really think you’ll see any of the old residents there?
BS, this guys are a burden to our city..
Most of so called wazaliwa... Kazi ni kukaa baze wakiita watu wasee wa kucome. Disruption is inevitable.
@CyrusMulingeTROTS I disagree with you why don’t they start by getting rid of Kibera slums and mathare.Have discernment this is about land grabbing because they are prime real estate.
@@samuelkaindi1thinking kibra is in progress
@@evanskering1373 i hope so,they need to get rid of all the slums first.this estates yes they need to be improved but like I said they are in prime location.This crooks at city hall are not fooling anyone.
@@samuelkaindi1 most of kibera is private land. There's is absolutely no point of a bunch of entitled few holding hostage millions of other city residents. Watolewe wrote.
They're not a burden. Watu hukaa zabe sababu hakuna form kama ukona form itoe na uone vile yard itabaki bila raia. Wasee wa kucome ni watu wa ushago wenye wamekuja Nairobi kuhustle And yes watu wa kucome wako wengi mtaani.
For history of our nation should be renovated be made a heritage
History for what exactly
There are some people who have a slum mindset no matter what
Cities are improving, so do Nairobi. Watu should embrace the change or waende ushago period!.
This I support this move Kenya is on the ascending mode and people need to realise and respect it I’m glad to see Kenya develop
Why can they expand Nairobi. And start building those new estate outside nairobi
Eminent domain
These people’s lifestyle is not for living in high rises
It's not about them but about the exploding population without houses.
@@justinamusyoka4986true. It's these people who will also complain later that the government is doing nothing about the growing population
More. Ways. To. See. What. They. Can. GRAB. Its. Understable.
Renovate the houses ,,u can utilise space horizontally,, it shouldn't be vertically almost always ,, earth quakes do happen ,,,,,
History is ver important,hope they shall be saved
KALOLENI should be next on line
Go to there rural home and if you find their old house standing then you come and spare the one's in the city we could also like to know the houses those historical figures have lived around the globe.
2 months to vacate, yaani at this point ata wakoloni ni afadhali
We need to look toward the future, rather than live in the past. Plus Asbestos is extremely harmful.
Bomoa! Nkt!
Long overdue move. The question is, what is the plan? And who will benefit?
Another question, where are the residents of 7 estates going to move to? After the houses have been rebuilt, will they be allowed to move back? Will they be able to afford them? I see many Kenyans becoming homeless in this process. This is not a good thing.
Lest preserve these building and give a facelift.
Demolish them .why keep them? Tom mboya is dead and past tense. Lets go Ruto
Muthura place ya waizi and pick pockets
💔💔💔
The way those houses have been neglected shows Kenyans are not serious people. BOMOA!
Ile ufisadi itakuwa hapo...🤣
SEREKALI. YA. BULLDOZER.
Preserve what exactly?
Those dingy houses look like a den of thugs.
Forget history and embrace AI😍
hasla cannot invest his enegies where he has no room for stealing...
Somalis have already invest all boma yetu houses somalis are the ones living there.
Watu waende ushago.😂
Kuna watu wengi wenye hawana ushago
So tufanye ziwani yte museum 😂😂.......
Hizi nazo zibomolewe tu.
Bomoa na mtaratara starting from one estate and start building b fore next demolition ndo tutaamini
Nani anakudanganya kaukijuwa izonyumba watajenga nizao na nyinye muta angaika
He will make Nairibi a different City in the world. Was Ruto words during campaigns. So muongeee msiongee ababomoa. 1. Hes the President. 2. Chief of Armed forces. 3. Chief Justice juu hasikii Supreme Court laws,,,,,
Hiyo ni yenu. Bomoa hizi viru hata kibera.
Some of you are so tribal minded that you can't see logic. Why not start with slum upgrading? What is the rationale? Is this a priority really or the Governor is joining the bulldozer for affordable houses? Cluelessness🤷🏿♂️
They mean Chinese are moving into that area
Zibomolewe !
Kama hizi zinabomolewa,,,, meaning ALL slums zitabomolewa. Only people to be ready juu ni 2 mimutes kobomoa. Ndio maana Rais ameanza na zile ngumu kidogoo.
From. Bottom. Up
bomoa
Bomoa slums jenga affordable housing uko muache upumbavu
God will fight for them❤💯
Bomboa zote
Waaaat
Prisav shitt
Aty Preserve 😂😂
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
People will appreciate later.
Sasa juu Tom Mboya alikua anaishi nyumba flani...isibomolewe? This historical aspect impedes development.
Unaongeya nikama mulimeza dawa yakuishi na kushika uongozi milele??? ataivo sitaki kuropoka ruto lazima atoke
Even Queen Elizabeth have an old house in kenya as historical site
Bomoa zote wacha tuu ya Jaramogi thats a museum!
Zimibio
Bomoa hio kitu. Shenzi
😂😂 so we change museums to be old houses. Zitoke huko ndio kuna bhang ,& drugs peddlers.
Peddlers are everywhere on this planet
KALOLENI should be next on line
