Seven residential buildings on Kombo Road – off Kamiti Road – in Nairobi were last month marked for demolition by the National Construction Authority (NCA) and the Nairobi City County (NCC).
Apparently, the buildings, on a 300-metre stretch, have eaten into the road, which is due for expansion. Five of them are new while one of the remaining two is a squat, old dilapidated two-storey building shunned by tenants. The other one has been under construction that has seen it rise from two to five floors.
