Have you read Dennis Mumba’s report to parliament on the ZNOC saga?
Warning: It is not for the fainthearted. Corruption in the government at its highest!

Thats a good development and hope the juniors will not disadvanatged when it comes to occupation of the houses. It happened at PHI and Nyumba Yanga. I hope the authoriies will take into a/c routine maintenance of the houses. It was not secure to have guys renting tu ntembas as accommodation. It was also embrassing to visitors and the business commuters.
