Follow county regularisation guidelines

A section of bad road along Baraka estate in Embakasi, Nairobi.

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. To ensure that this exercise has full legal backing, it was later enacted in March 2016 to enhance development compliance and order within the city.

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 licence, which they can use for further development of their investments.
