Public hearings on the northern line's route begin

Residents of four wards have six weeks to tell the council where the stations should go.

By Amani Otieno, council and transport reporter ·

The first of eight public hearings on the northern rail extension opened at Kora Junction social hall, with about 150 people attending.

Most speakers asked about land. Farmers along the eastern route wanted to know how the county would value their plots and when it would pay.

The hearings continue in Riverside, Mlimani and Kivuli wards. Written comments can be left at the county hall until the last hearing closes.
