David Kabatha conducted a site visit to Chaka Market with an aim to address various challenges facing the traders. Key among them was a concern raised by Thegu- River Ward MCA Hon. Patrick Kanyi seeking its intervention over lack of a sign board directing the customers/ motorists into Chaka market. Hon. Kanyi noted that the traders in Chaka Market have a conducive environment to sell their goods and services. However, their efforts to effectively sell their goods have been fruitless due to lack of a sign post indicating direction as well as guiding the customers and therefore called upon the Trade Committee to deliberate on the matter and ensure a signboard is erected to guide the customers.

The County Assembly Committee on Physical Planning, Housing and Urbanization Chaired by Rware Ward MCA Hon. Simon Mbogo conducted a site visit to Kabendera Public Nursery school in Mugunda Ward with an aim to resolve the land dispute between parents of Kabendera public Nursery school and the Diocese of Nyeri Trustees.The site visit was prompted by a petition presented before the County Assembly of Nyeri by parents of Kabendera Public Nursery School and Kabendera Community seeking the interventions of the House to investigate the unclear re- allocation of plot no. Gatarakwa/ GatarakwaBlk 1/199 belonging to Kabendera Public Nursery School and to have the land returned to the rightful owner.In their prayer, the petitioners noted that the aforementioned land has been reserved for Kabendera Public Nursery School since 1987 and that a land search conducted sometime in the year 2000 can confirm the same with the registered owner being the Government of Kenya. Their major bone of contention is that on 10th December, 2020, the aforementioned land was acquired by the Diocese of Nyeri Trustees and a Title Deed was subsequently issued on 14th December, 2020 under very unclear circumstances. They also noted that a land search conducted on 11th January, 2021 indicates that the land changed ownership to the Diocess of Nyeri Trustees.The Committee on Physical planning will soon hold a consultative meeting with the Diocese of Nyeri Trustees in order to facilitate open dialogue, Identify the root of the problem and subsequently table a report with its recommendations before the House. ...
