The national government gave tenants living in six Eastland estates at least 60 days to vacate their houses.
The estates include Jogoo Road Phase I and II, Jamaa, Mbotela, Ahero, Mawenzi Gardens.
This is after Housing PS Charles Hinga in a notice said the estates they live in have been marked for the Affordable Housing Program which is part of the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda.
"Pursuant to this, several old estates have been identified for redevelopment to increase rental stock, avail houses for sale to citizens at affordable rates, and create job opportunities for the youth," reads the notice
As a result, PS Hinga noted that to pave way for the redevelopment of the houses, there is a need to vacate all tenants residing in these Government estates immediately.
