The office of the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) has given the Director General of the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), Mamo Boru, 21 days to address the plight of Phenom Estate residents in Nairobi.
The Ombudsman, in a letter addressed to Boru on Saturday, February 15, ordered him to provide information regarding construction works at a piece of land along Langata-Link Road, which is next to Phenom Estate.
The ultimatum followed a petition filed by the Phenom Estate Residents' Association at the Commission's offices, which sought the CAJ's help to compel Boru to provide the much-needed information.
According to the Commission, the residents in August last year wrote to the NEMA boss demanding a detailed assessment report of the site and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) license issued by NEMA to the project proponent.
