So Buru Buru residents destroyed their neighborhood now they want the Govt to intervene? How about they start by demolishing those extensions and painting their houses? How about they come up with monthly cleanups?
I remember the 'mausoleum' that the old mzee is talking about in the 1980's as I grew up in Buru as a kid in the early and mid 80's it was the cream of the crop estate in Eastlands those days ...enyewe buru has changed alot over the years and NOT for the better.
Ntv, I have a small problem with your documentaries. Seriously, you name this rise and fall of buruburu, you should have done more research and created a longer program. Show us the progress. Not this 7 min clip.
the problem with kenya is overcrowding and population pressure on Nairobi,if wecould have other supercities it would ease traffic,human,housing congestions etc ,like the case of South Africa or Egypt or Nigeria and other few countries in Africa have other supercities
Supercities are not the solution. The solution is getting the national population under control. Sub-Saharan Africa's population is exploding through the roof, its needs to be stabilized.
Even for a million I would never buy a house in Buruburu. It's a slum that will never appreciate in value and has serious insecurity issues just like kayole. It used to be a signature estate but hii corruption hapana imeumiza kila mtu and must be fought. Many parts of the world no one can interfere with an estates original plan.
Quite sad but such is life. As soon as you allow the first illegal structure, that is usually the end of the neighborhood. Maringo area is suffocating with dukas/homes. You cannot allow even one illegal structure if you still want to have a nice neighborhood
Your right. The operative word is "impunity", if you stamp out the first signs of it, they take heed and desist. Conversely if you don't take action the first time, you give a signal for the others to do whatever they want. Also lookup the "broken window theory" when referring to neighborhoods.
No difference between Dandora and Buruburu which has turned into a slum with unplanned extensions that have destroyed the beauty of the estate . I would never live here,better mashambani. This environment is not healthy for anyone wellness other than criminals
Its everywhere i saw the so called muthaiga the roads are in a sorry state. Ata mashambani in kitale shops are just everywhere and boda you dont know where the street ends pedestrains are count in between.
From the way it looks it definitely doesnt look safe...anybody who knows Buru will tell you it was considered 'ubabini' for the Nairobi people that lived there in the 70s and 80s it was very safe...I should know because I grew up there as kid in the early to mid 80s.
it will take another 40 plus years to restore to its original design and so is to other cities facing this problem globally, anyway by then we shall be having floating cities.... kwa saa hii, tu vumilie tu
This is not enough just go to Kiambu/ Ruiru...this land grabbers has sold public utility lands and left initial plan for residents ask themselves an ending questions.....wakiulizwa wanasema arrogantly " mta duu " uhuru please go to Ruiru
Kenya as a whole has changed urbun population has increased the traders in mutindwa are not to blame instead you should focus on what can be done eg bulding of modern markets wake up ntv you are potarying the traders badly...very poor reporting
OMG, Kenyans when shall you learn walk the straight and narrow by sticking to rules +building codes? Anyway its no surprise coz i see the same culture in the delegitimization of the 5yr old constitution.
This is what happens when you import people from western Kenya to come into Nairobi as a provision to secure that ballot. These people need housing and jobs, and the city that was designed to cater for 950, 000, caters now for not less than 5.7 million inhabitants. Again, tough choices have to be made, either send these imports back to where they came from and offer them employment there, or, move the animals from Nairobi national park and build affordable housing there.
Me & You You previous comment to Opiyo was on point, and though I have neither lived in Buru nor invested there, I do share in your frustration. However, this one on 'importing people from western Kenya' is at best derogatory and devoid of any logic or truth. 1) Nairobi does not belong to a particular group. 2) inmigration into Narobi is necessary in many ways and nearly every region of Kenya and the world is represented in Nairobi. 3) ask yourself, who are the majority owners of shanty kiosks or illigal structures and grabbed open spaces? And these illegal developments seek approval, and who runs the approving institutions? The findings of your research will definitely overturn your untruthful insinuations. I repeat, like you, I am frustrated by this conundrum.
I grew up in Buru buru phase 4 omg it was cool can’t believe my eyes now😢😢😢😢

The built environment everywhere in Kenya is very unsightly.

only south africa stands out.Nigeria and Egypt have similar problems to Kenya that you mentioned
Supercities are not the solution. The solution is getting the national population under control. Sub-Saharan Africa's population is exploding through the roof, its needs to be stabilized.
Super cities are a solution also creating decent towns.

I've been to Nigeria. It's a shithole.

True, Kobo. But will, greed, corruption and incorrigible nepotism allow any meaning to decency? Sadly not.
Next Estate review please Mercy. Good job.

I remember when Buru was really poppin, and was the only excuse I'd have to going back in Eastlands but Now 2018? when property depreciates?
In the 80's Buru Buru was like the Hurlingham or kileleshwa of Eastlands..its a damn shame its now a shadow of its former glory days!
