In my opinion this should be implemented country wide, and city planners should start doing what they were employed to do, PLAN THE DAMN CITIES/TOWNS.
This country looks like a giant slum everywhere you go, people build haphazardly, without concern for the environment or general concern for other amenities like, footpaths, parking, service lanes... Etc.
To make it worse we have so many ugly, weird and dangerous looking building you wonder who inspected or approved them..
Actually all officials working in any city or country planning department should be terminated and the jobs advertised again, under NMS. New plans and policies advertised and implemented.

If you blow your nose without a handkerchief or tissue paper in Nairobi, you risk being fined anything between Sh10,000 and Sh500,000 or an imprisonment term of between six to 12 months.
This also applies to when you are caught urinating in undesignated spaces, spitting on the streets, sleeping in kitchens or food stores, among other misdemeanours.
These are part of new rules and regulations that are aimed at keeping Nairobi clean and hygienic.
They are contained in the Nairobi City County Public Nuisance Bill, 2021 that has now been signed into law.
Nairobi Deputy Governor Ann Kananu said Nairobi residents should familiarize themselves with the new law to avoid being caught offside.
"Nairobi is the face of Kenya. We all need a clean and hygienic environment to live and work in," she said.
The new law also prohibits the discharge of dirty water, sewer or effluent into streets or water channels, discharge of oils into roads or water channels, and obstruction of roads or streets.
It also prohibits residents from allowing trees and hedges in their homes or places of work to obstruct streets or footpaths.
The new law also criminalises riding motorcycles or driving on footpaths, playing loud music, and smoking in undesignated places.
A person found flouting the new law will be liable to a fine of anything between Sh10,000 and Sh500,000, and imprisonment of six to 12 months depending on the offence committed.
Kananu said county officials should take this matter with seriousness in order to bring sanity to the city.
“This is part of what we promised our great people of Nairobi. We must work round the clock to achieve this. A healthy environment is paramount to all of us," Kananu noted.
Nairobi County Attorney Lydia Kwamboka said application of the law will be strict, thus residents should take more responsibility.
“The Act empowers the county to take all lawful, necessary and reasonable practical measures for maintenance of the county at all times in a clean and sanitary condition, abatement and prevention of public nuisance and remedy any nuisance," she said.
County executive member for Environment, Energy, Water and Sanitation Larry Wambua thanked Riruta MCA Kariuki Kiriba for coming up with the bill at the assembly and ensuring that all stages were well articulated and now signed into law.
He added that he will work tirelessly in ensuring that all is achieved as ordered by Kananu.
"This is an order from our boss and our work henceforth is to work tirelessly in ensuring that the city comes to order," he said.
Kiriba thanked the executive, especially the Deputy Governor for her cordial relationship with the assembly members in ensuring that Nairobians get better services.
"We thank everyone and more so the executive. This has been a long journey, but we have now achieved what we aimed," he stated.
