Everything seems to be at standstill, plus dont they have proper, heavy lifting tools.
I thought the Israel government donated life saving tools to the government??? au ziliuzwa gikomba?
Kidero has just arrived. Posing for photos. 7 levels built without approval he says.yaaawn.
Kidero has instructed us to question landlords.Eti 'kagizzard ' is your house approved? before occupying. ish .
 Anyway, one of the problems with construction approvals done by the Kidero County is that the land/plot has to have a title for one to submit building plans. 90 percent of plots in Nairobi Eastlands have no title so no submission. secondly, the county govt has no capacity to deal with all approvals if submissions were done. third, corruption at county buildings approval department, fourthly, submission is costly un-necessarily, they ask for like 200k for a bungalow submission hapo kweli, the approval process is still stuck to what the colonial masters left - lakini even if the approval process is done what will stop the rogue architect/engineer/owner from using substandard steel or poor sand quality or kidogo cement, unless the local authority guys are hired as the watu wa mikono the responsibility at the end of the day lies with the owner/architect/engineer -watu wa akili kidogo. From my understanding,once the approval has been granted,The county govt engineers and architects are supposed to be monitoring the construction periodically by visiting the site and doing some tests on the material used. I am assuming that would require lots of engineers and architects - lakini all said, what keeps people in check are the consequences of doing the wrong thing - as long as individuals know they can get away with it they will always cut corners. unless we want to police the guys every actions, its just kidogo akili that tells an owner/engineer/architect that they are just messing with other human beings lives. Howmany structural engineers are emmployed by the County and national government in Nairobi? In my previous life before devillusion,I interacted with the a provincial public works office which had employed many engineers, architects and quality assurance officers who werent doing their work but just rent seeking!!! If Obiero did it, Who Am I?
