Nairobi's Building Sector Boosts Revenue but Faces Transparency Issues

Nairobi's construction sector is now the top revenue source for City Hall, generating 22% of its income from building permits and inspections in Q1 of FY 2024/25.
This brought in Sh484 million, surpassing parking fees at Sh434 million.
The county collected a total of Sh2.26 billion during the period, marking a 31% rise compared to last year.

The surge in building permits, up 86% from 2023, is driven by affordable housing projects and private developments in areas like Kilimani.
However, transparency concerns have emerged, with reports of irregular permit approvals and poorly planned skyscrapers.
Activists and MCAs are pushing for reforms to improve oversight and safety in Nairobi's construction industry.

Justin Welby Steps Down as Archbishop of Canterbury Amid Abuse Scandal

Justin Welby officially steps down as archbishop of Canterbury at midnight, marking the start of a months-long search for his successor. Welby's resignation follows criticism over his handling of abuse allegations against John Smyth, a prominent Christian leader who reportedly abused over 130 boys and young men.

His departure leaves the Church of England in crisis, with interim duties falling to Stephen Cottrell, the archbishop of York, who faces separate abuse allegations.

The process to select a new leader will involve the Crown Nominations Commission (CNC), led by Lord Evans of Weardale. The CNC will consider candidates holding significant church leadership roles, with the final decision requiring a two-thirds majority vote and approval by King Charles.

Welby apologized to abuse survivors, though some criticized his tone and actions, including a rejected Christmas donation by The Children’s Society. His successor is expected to be announced by autumn.
