Taji Estate Will Bring 3,400 New Homes In Nanyuki
Updated on: Nov 07, 2020
In line with attainment one of the Big 4 Agenda, the Unison Sacco, with the help of County government of Laikipia has begun providing affordable housing. The Sacco is partitioning its 542-acre land in Nanyuki into plots of 50x100 and 100x100 to customers for construction of a well-planned residential estate, named Taji Gardens.
This realization came to be on Thursday 29 2020 with the signing of a contract between the Unison Sacco limited and Nanyuki Water and Sewerage Company (NAWASCO), in the presence of various stakeholders led by H. E. Governor Ndiritu Muriithi.
Residential area, however, will be built on land that has utilities such as water, power and a sewerage system. This will see an improvement in the living standards and creation of more job opportunities.
The sewerage system will improve the value of land, solve sanitation questions while also observing environmental laws. In the contract, Unison Sacco agreed to fund the construction of a Kes. 32 million sewer system in Taji Estate Project while NAWASCO will implement.
Whereas the Sacco will own the sewer infrastructure, NAWASCO will supply water, manage and maintain the system.
I welcome this partnership, because it is the only way urban planning is done. Why would you build houses, personal or residential, but you do not have a plan of a hygiene waste disposal? Governor Muriithi paused, while overseeing the contract signing between NAWASCO Managing Director Kennedy Gitonga and Unison Saccos Chief Executive Officer, John Njogu.
Previously the Sacco representatives had gone ahead with the subdivisions but had skipped a vital stage of involving the government in making approvals. The lack of a clear sewer line and water system brought their efforts to a halt, and stopped the implementation.
It is only after the consultation with the county government that an understanding was reached and the Sacco did the necessary, that the partitioning and plots allocation exercise was to commence, through signing of a contract.
The best part in urban planning is that the density of the building must be related to the provision of utilities. I thank Unison Sacco for demonstrating with action what proper urban development is about, said the governor.
Moving forward, the Sacco management vowed their commitment to be involving the government in all their undertakings to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Moving to the Taji 2, we promise not to walk alone as Unison Sacco, but we will walk hand in hand with the county government officials to avoid what happened in the past, said the Sacco chairman Mr. James Muhandi.
Unison Sacco is a Laikipia based deposit taking Sacco established in 1977 as Laikipia Teachers Sacco but changed the name in 2014. The Sacco draws members from TSC, Civil Servants, private schools/institution employees, corporates, Micro-credit groups and individual business entrepreneurs capable of making regular contributions.
