  1. Chinese watamaliza Kenya ngonjeeni mtaona, Wanakunja Kenya na dollars in maize bags at zero interest from their government and they pay our ill rotten brainless corrupt Kenyan leaders that are money hungry at every level. Shame on our leadership, very very wrong practices.

  2. This has nothing to do with the chinese but government
    However anything involving the chinese will get exerggerated attention from western media
    In Uganda the world Bank funded the construction of a channel that has caused an environmental catastrophe in parts of lake Victoria

  3. Shame on you Jerotich Seii! You and your dad celebrated William Ruto, mtu wenu, so what is the hypocrisy about? Everything happening in this country the president and his enablers are fully aware. Those properties have people like CS Murkomen, Eng Oscar Sudi, Faruk Kibet, Harun Cheruyot,Kimani Ichungwa etc behind them. Try and touch them. Wait,by 2032, there will be no Kenya to talk about.

  4. We need to rethink strategies of concerving the environment.I think the rate of construction in Nairobi will continue to pose dangers of sinking houses, earthquakes, flood disasters. It is high time we rethink city construction strategies. Otherwise the next 20 years we will wail and we will have nothing to savage.The mother earth is angry with us, we have failed her by our scrupulous means of geting rich and failing to understand the power it has in our livelihood.

  5. How can gaverment make lows of housing when they dont have any bulding or constrution Company how is that possimpol.not evean acapany they trust and sponser

  6. Low Trust societies have a high level of corruption and incompetence, so you need a "private army" to do business: Money talks; Bullsheit walks!

    High Trust societies have a low level of corruption and competent know how, so you rely on the government to enforce the rule of law to do business: Money talks; Bullsheit walks!
