• 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: glaring omissions we noticed was the absence of a Tenant Purchase Scheme (TPS) in the sale agreement between the county government and the developer. Many of the residents of Buxton thought that they were being relocated for a brief moment of time and that once the construction of the development was over, they would return to units that have been assigned to them by the county government and continue paying rent in the manner they were paying until the point that rent is sufficient to offset the purchase price of those units.

Starehe Boys Centre does not need introduction. It is an institution that is well known across the country for its excellence in academics and other areas for a very long time.

I encourage them to put more effort in their studies and ensure they give it their ... view
