Joho’s Sh50b housing project to go ahead despite protests by Omar, Ali

The development of the first phase of Mombasa’s Sh50 billion housing project is set to start after it received the green light from locals who had initially opposed it.

For the last four years, the plan by Mombasa County Government to demolish old houses at its estates and erect new houses under its regeneration project has met opposition by the tenants and a section of local politicians.
