A row involving a private developer, residents and a government agency over a housing project in Mombasa has gone to court. However, 19 immediate neighbours have said no public participation was conducted before embarking on the project. Nine of the neighbours share the same perimeter fence as the project area, seven are on the first row while three are on the second row from the beach. On Wednesday, the National Environmental Tribunal sitting in Nairobi ruled that the case can proceed for a physical court hearing in Mombasa on November 5 and 6 this year. During the hearing, parties are expected to present their witnesses.
