Nairobi MCAs have raised the red flag over the legality of contracts signed between City Hall and private developers of the urban renewal housing project. The contracts are illegal because they were signed without being based on any housing policy, the MCAs said on Thursday. Nairobi county assembly Planning and Lands committee says the county housing policy goes to its last reading next week and must be passed by the house. He further said the contracts must be aligned with the county policy or risk being declared null and void. However, Lands and Housing executive Charles Kerich said no other contracts have been signed because negotiations are ongoing.
