flag Kenyan resident groups block housing projects, causing delays and conflicts over consultation and governance.

flag Resident associations in Kenya are increasingly blocking housing projects, causing delays and sparking conflict with developers and governments. flag At a major housing conference, developers blamed these groups for stalling approvals up to a year, prompting the Kenya Property Developers Association to create policies for better engagement. flag Residents argue developers often skip proper public participation, consulting non-residents or holding meetings at inconvenient times. flag In Langata and Kajiado County, opposition arose over infrastructure strain and lack of consultation, with one county later retracting a deal giving associations veto power. flag Internal disputes within associations, like in Fourways Junction, reveal unequal treatment and poor transparency, undermining trust. flag The tensions highlight ongoing challenges in balancing urban development with community rights and effective governance.
