LAND IN MATHARE

Land is a major resource  since this what people build on.Due to the large population in Mathare,housing is a major problem and this leads to lack of land.No one owns land here.
The whole land of Mathare slums ie con is owned by the government.What people own are houses and structures build on the land.The people who build are those who happened to be in Mathare earlier and opted to put up those structures.
These have become the landlords who demand to be paid at the end of the month.The pay is something from Ksh.500 a month.Land is therefore a major problem unless some residents find housing somewhere else.
