Kiambu County Governor Responds Firmly to Tatu City’s Claims Over Master Plan Delays

In a recent development concerning the Tatu City project in Kiambu County, Governor Kimani Wamatangi has issued a robust response to assertions made by Tatu City management regarding delays in the approval of their revised development master plan.

Governor Wamatangi, in a detailed statement released on Thursday, reiterated the County Government’s commitment to upholding lawful land use and allocation for public utilities. Tatu City, a sprawling development spanning approximately 5,000 acres, has faced scrutiny following its application to amend its master plan. The revised proposal seeks to reduce the allocation of land designated for public amenities from 406 acres to 103 acres.

This proposed reduction has drawn sharp criticism from the County Government, which insists that the allocation for public use must adhere to a minimum of 10%, equating to 500 acres. Governor Wamatangi emphasized this point, stating that the demand for adequate public utility space is grounded in legal frameworks such as the Physical and Land Use Planning Act 2019 and its accompanying regulations from 2021.

“We value all investors in Kiambu County and remain committed to supporting them within the confines of the law,” Governor Wamatangi affirmed. He underscored that the County’s request for land is strictly intended for public utility purposes, countering claims made by Tatu City management suggesting otherwise.

“It is regrettable that Tatu City’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Preston Mendenhall, chose to address this matter through the media,” Governor Wamatangi expressed, breaking a customary silence on public disputes involving investors. “However, in light of their statements, it is imperative to clarify our position based on legal mandates.”

The Governor further clarified that the County Government’s stance is not driven by personal gain or private interests, rebutting allegations to the contrary by Tatu City management. He affirmed that the demands for land are solely for essential public facilities such as schools, hospitals, fire stations, recreational areas, and other communal utilities that benefit the wider community.

The ongoing debate underscores a broader tension between private development interests and governmental regulations aimed at ensuring equitable community benefits from large-scale projects. As the dialogue continues, stakeholders await further developments on how Kiambu County and Tatu City will reconcile their differences in the pursuit of sustainable urban development.
