In a bizarre incident that has left the residents of Jabavu Court in Kilimani fuming, one of the residents has taken it upon himself to erect wooden poles all over the children’s playground area located between house no. 16 and no. 18.
This area was designated as a common space by the developers during the construction of the estate in the late 1980s, with the intention of providing a safe recreational area for the children to play.
However, after 33 years of peaceful co-existence, the resident of house no. 18 decided to take matters into his own hands and erected the poles without any consultation or notice to the other residents.
The incident has caused an uproar among the other residents who are now worried about the safety of their children and the future of the common space.
They argue that the resident in question has not only violated the communal space but has also shown complete disregard for the rights of others.
The poles were erected early in the morning with no consultation or conversation with other homeowners, and the bases were even cemented.
This has left residents wondering why someone would take such extreme measures to limit the use of a common space.
The fact that this area has been used as a playground for the past 33 years without any incidents makes it all the more perplexing.
Homeowners in Jabavy Court are now calling for action against the individual responsible for what they feel is an illegal encroachment on common land.
They have demanded that the poles be removed and that the common space be restored to its original state, or else they will mobilize and dig out the poles themselves.
They are also seeking an explanation from the individual responsible for his actions.
