He is taking advantage of the holidays for this,\u201d residents said as they gathered at the site to protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/news\/files\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-28-at-3.09.32-PM.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/news\/files\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-28-at-3.09.32-PM-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-788613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/news\/files\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-28-at-3.09.32-PM-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/news\/files\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-28-at-3.09.32-PM-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/news\/files\/2025\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-12-28-at-3.09.32-PM.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a formal complaint submitted to the county government and the NCA, residents accuse a private developer of constructing multi-storey rental units within the gated estate, which they say is strictly zoned for single-dwelling residential use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They argue that the project violates special conditions contained in their lease agreements, which restrict land use to one private residential house, excluding even guest houses. According to the residents, the development threatens the character of the estate, undermines homeowners\u2019 investments, and poses serious safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents say they first reported the matter to county authorities, who issued a stop order on October 7, 2024. However, they allege that construction has continued in open defiance of the directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis building has no approved plans and poses a serious safety risk to neighbouring properties,\u201d the residents said in their complaint, warning that unregulated construction could compromise structural integrity and overburden existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They further claim to have submitted photographic evidence of ongoing works, alongside a petition signed by homeowners opposing the project. The residents insist that Evergreen Estate was planned as a quiet residential community and not intended for commercial rental developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The residents are now calling on the Kiambu County Government, the NCA, and other relevant agencies to urgently investigate the matter, enforce compliance with planning and construction laws, and take decisive action against anyone found to have violated regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have also demanded transparency, asking to be kept informed of steps taken, saying swift intervention is necessary to uphold zoning rules, protect public safety, and preserve the integrity of residential neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, residents alleged that the developer has been boasting of connections within the county government, including the Governor\u2019s office, which they claim has shielded the project. They further urged the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to investigate the developer\u2019s tax compliance, alleging he owns multiple properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was no immediate comment from the developer at the time of publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a spokesperson from the Governor\u2019s office said the county is investigating the claims and will take appropriate action in line with the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The residents claim that the contractor resumed work on Sunday, taking advantage of the festive season when many homeowners and
