The county government of Mombasa has warned contractors against adhering to safety precautions and regulations in construction sites.

According to Mombasa Executive Committee member for Land, Urban renewal and housing nominee Mohammed Hussein most of the contractors in the county are violating the regulations by not putting up safety signs at the construction sites.

Hussein noted that this is notorious with constructors in Ganjoni.

"I have had time to visit almost all construction sites in the county and one thing that worries me is the fact that some of this contractors don't put safety signs in their construction sites, something which is very dangerous" said Hussein.

Adding "This behaviour is very rampant in Ganjoni and we are going to act on it and force them to put the signs".

Hussein emphasized that the county government always requires contractors to place warning signs at construction sites to prevent any potential accidents.

Last month, Hussein together with the Chief officer department of Lands and Urban renewal Ali Sharif and other officials visited several construction sites in the county to ascertain their level adherence to regulations where they also issued stop orders to non-complient developements and arrested several developers who did not comply to enforcement notices and stop orders early issued by the department 

Speaking to members of the media at the Moi International airport, Hussein noted that his first priority after being worn into office will be to roll out the digitization process of land records and see it's implementation.

"Digitization of Land records is one of the best methods to solve challenges in the land governance department and we are determined to make this happen" said Hussein.
