“We wish to inform the general public especially people residing around Parklands, Westlands and Riverside that we have stopped the construction of the AVIC INTERNATIONAL BUILDING along the Waiyaki way.”
“We have arrested all the Chinese and Kenyan contractors on site for defying the county planning laws,” said Sonko.
Sonko added that those official who were involved in its construction will also be shown the door and arrested.
“I swear Kuanzia Tito Kilonzi head of security compliance, Kathenge head of planning and approvals, arresting officers and the county prosecutor you will all go home by the end of today.”
