Langata residents protested construction of affordable houses in their area. This is a project predicted to cost billions of kenya shillings under the government flagship project Boma Yangu. The residents sited reasons like:

-The project is a land grab given its location.

-The project will bring congestion

-The water and sewerage systems will be overwhelmed

-Lack of privacy for the mansionette and low rise house occupants neighboring the projects.
