The government has given a notice of two weeks to the owners of AIRGATE MALL formerly Taj Mall to bring it down within the next two weeks or it swings into action.
Through a notice, the government said the building is an illegal structure sitting on a road reserve.
“Notice is hereby given to the owner(s)/developer(s) of the illegal development, namely AIRGATE MALL, formerly Taj Mall, situated at the North Airport Road at the junction of Outering Road, which has encroached on the road reserve and wayleave hindering the continuance of construction of the Outering Road,” the notice read in part.
The owner, through a press address, said he has suffered so much loss and the government was at liberty to do what it deems right.
“If you want to demolish this building do it, I don’t care, I am tired of hearing about its demolition now for over five years,” said Rameshchandra Govind Gorasia.
He added: “I have suffered enough since rumors of demolitions losing Sh2 to 3 billion in rentals, it is enough. Please bring it down even now. I don’t care.”
