today19 January, 2024

Background

Omuthiya Mayor, Johannes Ndeutepo, is calling on individuals to initiate development on plots in Omuthiya that have remained inactive for an extended period. Addressing the issue of 316 allocated plots lying idle, Ndeutepo expressed his concerns. He highlighted the escalating number of inactive properties in the town, pointing out that some owners exhibit prolonged silence and show no intent to develop their plots. The mayor further revealed that lease agreements have been established with plot owners, outlining a stipulation that if the properties remain undeveloped within a three-year period, a notice will be issued to reclaim the land, without providing a refund to the owners.
