During routine surveillance of constructions in the city, the Council identified several unauthorized developments without Council’s approval along Kangundo Road next to the Kenya Power and Lighting Company Wayleave in Komarock Area. This was found to be in violation of the Physical Planning Act Cap. 286 and also the Local Government Act Building bylaws. Mr. Speaker, Sir, due process of the law was followed and two enforcement notices were issued to the affected parties; one is serialized as 7148 and the other is 7149 dated 4th November, 2009.
