FCC allocates un-serviced land

Mmegi: ""Our view as the municipality is that we should allocate plots and provide water only. Other services such as electricity, sewerage and drainage systems will be erected later when enough funds have been secured," he said.Nyeku also observed that lack of residential plots in the city discourages home ownership among residents.The arrangement of allocating un-serviced plots has worked well in the past, according to him.
"When we were relocating squatters from Somerset to Gerald Estate some years ago, they were allocated plots without services with the exception of water. Services such as drainage systems, electricity and sewerage lines were erected later," he said. Mokalake welcomed the FCC idea. "The ministry will, however, have to look at the viability of a proposal by the municipality before acceding to their request," he said. He stated that the Ministry of Lands has allocated un-serviced plots in rural areas. He said services would be provided when the government has secured enough funds for the purpose. The arrangement, he said, has worked well."
