Tough construction rules now in force in Nairobi County

In early 2015, the County Government of Nairobi passed the Regularisation of Development Bill 2015 (The Act provided for the regularisation of all unauthorised developments by November 10, 2016).

Amongst its key provisions; developers who had built homes without approvals were given a grace period to seek regularisation permits failure to which enforcement action would ensue. Upon regularisation, developers will have requisite documents that include occupation licences, which they can use for further development of their investments.
