Nairobi county government has confirmed that three grand hotels in Eastleigh will be demolished for contravening building regulation.
Three hotels include eleven-storey Grand Royal Hotel, seven-floor Barakat Hotel, and eight-storey Solar Lodge.
Three mosques and a church are also battle uncertain future to the threat.
Moi Air Base commander at Eastleigh said the three hotels exceed the permitted number of floors allowed in the area. The three mosques exceed the three-floor limit for buildings near the air base and the PAG church is next to the air base fence by only 12-metre.
“We deliberately left out applications from developments done on disputed private or public land, riparian way leave or access roads. For those like the ones in Eastleigh, the law will take its course. The buildings will have to come down at some point,” Governor Evans Kidero told a local daily on Saturday.
