City Hall has started investigation into how a piece of public land in Muthaiga, Nairobi, ended up in the hands of private developers and a shopping centre constructed. Mr Ngengi, during the assembly sitting on April 6, submitted that the shopping centre had encroached on a road reserve, giving rise to illegal development and noise pollution from a night club. “Many concerns continue to be raised by associations, individuals and organisations, which have objected to the construction of the shopping centre,” he said. Nairobi City County Task Force on Education’s report of 2014 revealed wanton grabbing of public land allocated to schools and other public institutions. The team also blamed weak legislation, greed and incompetence by some county officials and lack of title deeds.
