Governor Waititu advices Government to Move Rivers instead of Demolishing Buildings

Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu alias Baba Yao has opposed the ongoing demolition of buildings built on riparian land.

Mr Waititu says, instead of bringing down the buildings, the owners should be made to divert the river –at their cost.

“Kama watu wanasupport ubomoaji, mimi hapana support. Mambo iangaliwe kama kuna nyumba yako imekaribiana na mto, wewe uambiwe ni gharama yako kuhakikisha hiyo mto imesonga kidogo. Lakini kubomoa nyumba is not a solution. Honestly speaking. It’s such a big loss,” said Mr Waititu on Sunday.

Already, Shell petrol station and Java House in Kileleshwa as well as Southend Mall on Lang’ata Road, Ukay and Oshwal centres in Westlands have been demolished.
