Nairobi Residents Association is it possible to stop removal of height restrictions by the governor? What does the constitution say

Room temperature IQ detected. The constitution doesn’t deal with small things like building heights. Those are ward-level regulations

elders wenye mna argue against height restriction removal ni kama hamna akili.

watu 5 million wakiishi kwa 75 storey apartments watatumia maji amount the same na watu 5 million wakiishi kwa 5 storey apartments.

Kucollect garbage kwa building moja ya 75 floors ni rahisi than kucollect garbage kwa 75 standalone bungalows.

kuprovide security kwa 75 storey building ni rahisi than kwa boma 75 ziko kivyake.

kando na io yote nimesema, governor wenu wenye mnampenda, mwenye alitumia kura zenu kupata kiti, ashakula pesa ya foreign owners of capital.

Akijaribu kuwaruka tu kidogo, atawekwa kijiti kwa matako, na Chinese businessmen huwa hawatumii lube, wanaona io ni kuharibu pesa.

It says city planning is the role of the county government.

By your low IQ reasoning, Kick should not exist. But am sure the usual clueless judges will find a way to insert their muddled opinions into this debate ndio wapate some media exposure

Certain things are covered under city by laws and not constitution. Constitution only covers the setting up of institutions. Under such, they can legally ban you from chewing gum.
