The Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing, in its report on a petition to the Senate by Mr. John Tsuma and other residents of Buxton Estate regarding eviction from and the demolition of Buxton Estate in Mvita Constituency of Mombasa County, recommended among other things, that- (i) The County government of Mombasa should allocate its share of 184 housing units to former tenants or petitioners, (ii) the State Department of Housing and the County Government of Mombasa to develop a mechanism to ensure the remaining 336 tenants, petitioners, acquire units in Buxton Estate through tenancy purchase scheme under the National Housing Fund and submit a report to the committee within 60 days.
