The National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) has closed a controversial construction site on Likoni Lane.
The Authority, in a notice issued on Wednesday, January 22, said the site, belonging to a Chinese company, has been closed until further notice. The site in question is part of a proposed construction of a 17-floor residential building hosting two to four-bedroom houses in the Kilimani area of the capital. "The Director General of NEMA has today directed the closure of the said site with immediate effect until further notice," reads part of the notice.
