Residents living along Umoja Estate’s Mutindwa Kifaru road have been put on notice over demolition of structures that have encroached on the road reserve. – By Gerald Gekara.
According to the notice, issued on February 26, owners have been given 40 days to vacate the encroached area.
“Your enumerated plots above are located at the center of Mutindwa-Kifaru road which is part of project roads. The Road reserve for this section is 18m as per the approved and authenticated survey plans while the available corridor on the ground is only 9m wide. Your properties are encroaching on 9m of the road reserve,” KURA’s statement read in part.
KURA says the demolitions are to pave way for a 902 Million road project in the populous Umoja estate.
“The contractor is clearing the site and has at other sectors commenced the earthworks in readiness for the main carriage way, side drains and walk ways construction. In view of the above, you are required to have surrendered the encroached portions of the road reserve of Mutindwa-Kifaru Road as at the close of business on the thirtieth day from the date of this notice.”
The construction will see KURA construct a two-lane carriageway, inclusion of a 2 meter footpaths, bus bays, drainage facilities, road marking and street lighting.
The upgrade will benefit residents using the Ruaraka Crescent Road, Kangundo Moi Drive link, Malewa – Mwangaza Road, Nasra Estate Road, Kifaru-Mutindwa Road, Kangundo Service Road, Mowlem Link Road and Outer Ring Road links.
