Slums

The sprawling settlements around the jua kali area of kakamega are becoming a nuisance of menace to the surrounding.
Most of these buildings are constructed with approvals from the ministries and the town council of kakamega.
The structures are prone to collapsing because of the poor making and materials used during construction.
Today they have formed a slum like scenario where these are no even roads to get one through the structures.
Poor drainage system are an open and very significant features in the area.
The municipal council is threatening to bring down all the structures constructed
without full approval like they did to many others which were cropping up.
