1800 Kibera families to move to modern houses

First, they were not comfortable with Mr Molla’s directive that they will first have to demolish their ghettoes while moving out to the new houses.
Again they expressed suspicions saying the government may increase the rent once they occupy the new houses, which are not far from their slums.
Others were grumbling saying they cannot demolish their ghettoes as it is from this roughly constructed structures they carry out most of their businesses.
Both Mr Molla and Mrs Muraguri had a difficult time answering the challenging questions the residents of the village were asking.
What they said is that several meetings are required to explain to the people about what they called decamping programme.
The meetings will be convened by the provincial administration.

Blimey! Hope my views are published coz past postings have been censored! Kenyans are a unique breed!Frankly speaking majority of Kenyans abhor change for better or new ideas! The Kibera case as rightly put by BOBCAT will not succeed,many will see it as interruption of their "normal" way of life - what happened with Majengo housing - yes most let out the houses and moved back to the slums!
