  • Nairobi-Thika-Transp
    FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce this 10-plan year which is a road map on how the Nairobi - Thika Superhighway Transport Corridor (NTTC) is geared to develop. This is the first comprehensive spatial plan covering the NTTC, which is within Ruiru and Juja Sub-Counties and it has been prepared at a time when Kiambu County is grappling with the challenges of tackling rapid urbanisation. I am happy to note that, this plan has been prepared in a participatory manner taking into account the contributions of various stakeholders whose role in the implementation of the proposals is fundamental. Kiambu is the third most urbanised County after Nairobi and Mombasa and has witnessed rapid urbanisation in the few decades with people moving into the County to settle, set business, and undertake other development activities. The NTTC has witnessed rapid urbanisation coupled with high population growth and economic activities in the last ten years since the onset of devolved government and the upgrading of the Nairobi-Thika Highway thus changing the corridor’s character. Due to this rapid growth as a County, we are expected to commit more investments to cope with this expansion. More people need to be accommodated in a suitable environment with ease of movement, adequate physical and social infrastructure and employment opportunities. However, most of this urbanisation is happening with little or no planning intervention as characterised by piecemeal subdivision and land-use conversions. Due to the absence of planning tools like the Plan to guide and manage this rapid urbanisation, the current development in these areas is suffering from uncoordinated growth, land use conflict, inadequate basic infrastructure facilities and services, poor housing, and inefficient public transportation system, amongst other challenges.

    The Hass Property INDEX Q2.15 LAND INDEX IN ASSOCIATION WITH Expanded land index shows property in satellite towns has had higher return on investment • Hass and Stanlib today unveil the extended Land Index, covering satellite towns in the Nairobi environs. • The new data shows strong development and investment in these areas with land price growth equaling and bettering those in the inner city suburbs. • Since 2007, land in the inner city suburbs have increased five fold, while land prices in the satellite towns have increased six fold. • Over the past 7 years, Athi River and Juja have posted the best returns, while Kiambu has shown the strongest growth over the 12 months and Kiserian in the quarter ended June 2015. • A high interest rate environment further exacerbated by the recent increase of the central bank rate may drive demand for inner city land as developers move to areas with cash driven purchases.

  • Assessment of Pollution in Ndarugu River Due to Runoff and Agro‐ Industrial Wastewater Disposal
    JAGST Vol. 16(2) 2014 Assessment of pollution in Ndarugu River ASSESSMENT OF POLLUTION IN NDARUGU RIVER DUE TO RUNOFF AND AGRO‐ INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER DISPOSAL L. T. Hadgu1, M. O. Nyadawa2, J. K. Mwangi3 and P. M. Kibetu4 1,3,4 Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Nairobi, Kenya 2Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology, Bondo, Kenya E‐mail: [email protected] Abstract River Ndarugu is a tributary of Athi River in Kenya and is one of the main sources of fresh water for domestic use to the villages along the river bank and Nairobi City. It traverses Juja Township in Kiambu County, Central Kenya. During its course through the different agricultural and industrial areas of Gatundu, Gachororo and Juja farms, it receives untreated agro‐industrial waste discharges, effluent from coffee and tea factories, and other agricultural activities in the catchment area. This paper aims at assessing the level of pollution due to these activities. Water samples were collected from seven sampling points during the dry season in July and short wet season in November and December and analysed in situ and at Jomo Kenyatta University Environmental laboratory for eight parameters. These include pH, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), Turbidity, Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and dissolved oxygen (DO).The samples were collected at 15cm depth (to avoid floating materials) and geographical positioning system (GPS) device was used to spatially locate the sampling sites. Samples were taken from upstream and downstream of point and non‐ point sources of pollution. Results indicated that most physical parameters were within the WHO limits for drinking purpose.
