Owners of structures at the Garissa ASK Showground have been given seven days to pool down their makeshift houses and vacate to pave way for the construction of a modern baraza park. The county government on Saturday said it wants to build a recreational facility and a trade show hosting zone in the area. Urban planning executive Abdi Omar on Saturday morning toured the ground and said the illegal tenants had been a week to vacate or their structures be demolished. He said the tenants had no occupancy agreement with the county government that owns the land. "The planned demolitions is to pave way for the re-development of the site and that the occupants are duly notified about the development," Abdi said.
