The issue of Land Acquisition on Mombasa Road has generated a lot of interest.

The Government wishes to clarify several things:


1.  This is an important issue that has bearing on the acquisition of land for development.

2. The Mombasa Road project as earlier foreseen has changed and therefore, it is vital to pay heed to the existing conditions on the ground.


3. This is a country which requires rapid development and hence the Government requires investors and investments. The Government is not against development.


4. Therefore, serious consultations on the land Acquisition on Mombasa road are going on. The Hon. Minister for Roads has also set up a mechanism to consult key stakeholders. After all these consultations, the public will be informed on the way forward.
