New Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has been called upon by Kititsuru residents to close a carwash and bar in the area.
According to the residents, the bar and car wash along Kitisuru/Peponi road two months ago by unknown persons poses the security threat and causes obstruction of motorists and other road users.
“This commercial activity poses insecurity as thugs may use this location to monitor residents who enter and exit the estate at all times,” reads the petition signed on behalf of the residents.
“There will be obstruction of motorists and other road users and the possibility of accidents on the road as vehicles are making turns to enter or exit the carwash from the main road.”
The residents further complain the waste from the said business premise is drained into the nearby Gethathuru River, hence polluting it.
“The restaurant is now constructing some permanent structures near the car wash and playing very loud music in the night,” reads the letter copied to National Environment Management Authority.
Governor Mike Sonko said he would deal with the issue at an appropriate time.
