HAVE YOUR SAY 

CORPORATE REPUTATION 

By Thrity Engineer- Mbuthia 

www.brandeffectsea.com 

Reputation is defined as the beliefs and opinions 

held about someone or something. For a corporate 

organization, it is the image that one has of a 

particular entity. It is an intangible asset, one which 

is extremely difficult to measure but critical to have. 

Dr. Marietjie Theron - Wepener, marketing and 

stakeholder relations director at the University of 

Stellenbosch Business School has written an article 

entitled, ‘Corporate Reputation – build it, guard it, 

gain from it.’ 

She talks of the importance of trust, which is a 

major element in building a good reputation. The 

trust primarily exists between the organization and 

its customers. Generally speaking, customers make 

decisions to buy products from reputable companies, 

companies they can trust and rely on. 

This would not be more important than in the 

construction and property development industry. 

Property development is a very investment - heavy 

field where millions of shillings are involved. Buyers, 

investors and clients alike are all focused on getting 

value for money. 

A buyer of a residential property is looking at how 

reputable the construction company is, in order 

to ensure he gets a house that is well finished and 

meets his expectations. Who would want to buy a 

residential property from a developer who is known 

to take short cuts and installs sub - standard fittings? 

Similarly, the client wanting an extension of 

classrooms at a university is keen on time of 

completion of project, quality of work done, safety 

and one that can produce a return on investment as 

fast as possible. 

In the same light, investors who are putting in 

financial muscle into development projects are also 

looking for return on investments, hoping that these 

returns will not only be within market rates but can 

beat market rates. 

Again, this is only possible by guarding one’s 

reputation, and being able to command high prices 

in an environment where everyone is looking for the 

best possible deal. 

So how does one build a good corporate reputation? 

Here are seven tips to help you get started. 

1. Be known for quality work, and let your 

satisfied customers be your ambassadors. 

Word of mouth is extremely powerful and you 

should request for recommendations from your 

happy clients. Use these recommendations 

on social media as you build your brand and 

organization reputation. 

2. Honour your promises – stick to timelines 

and be known for achieving timely project 

milestones and project completion. 

3. Invest in marketing your organization 

and not just your projects. You need to build a 

powerful brand as a developer as a long term 

strategy, such that once your organization 

is well known, the brand equity developed, 

works in your favor for all projects. 

4. Use digital media especially social media. 

It is estimated that there are over 4.5million 

Facebook users in Kenya. Social media is a 

powerful tool to not only create visibility but 

also pass on information, and build credibility. 

Get a reputable expert to help out in order 

to fully maximize opportunities from social 

media. 

5. Use communication tools like PR to ensure 

that corporate social activities are not only 

done but also shared with stakeholders. Giving 

back to the community gives an organization 

a positive reputation, showing the care and 

concern it has for the less fortunate in society. 

6. All organizations are in business to make 

profits. Make the profits in an honest way. 

In the short term, it may seem more profitable 

to put up a block of single room apartments 

with no windows and shared bathroom 

facilities in order to contain costs. Ask yourself 

what that is doing to your reputation – would 

you really want to be known as the developer 

who has no empathy for human beings, no 

ethics or no values? 

7. Another way of building corporate reputation 

would be to participate in industry forums, 

volunteer for leadership positions within 

these forums and increase the brand equity. 

Get known and be known for the values that 

build a positive reputation. 

These are just some of the things that one can do 

to build corporate reputation. One thing is for sure, 

as much as reputation is an intangible asset, it can 

be a key factor in customers interacting with you or 

shunning you. Good corporate reputation acts as a 

competitive advantage, and having a competitive 

advantage means you are one step ahead of your 

competitors. Just what you need for growth and 

success. What are you waiting for? Build your 

corporate reputation and stand out from the crowd!

AMENDMENTS TO LAND LAWS EXPECTED TO 

STOP WARS BETWEEN LANDS MINISTRY AND 

COMMISSION FOR EFFICIENT TRANSACTIONS 

INCESSANT CONFLICTS DUE TO 

LEGAL INCONSISTENCIES 

The wars between the Lands Ministry 

and the Commission have been rather 

public and annoying. And various 

practitioners and landowners will 

recount endless tales of frustrations with 

transactions tabled for consideration 

since the Land Commission came to 

office over two years back. 

Uncertainties are the rule. One is never 

sure that documents tabled will ever 

be processed. One is left to speculate 

on whom, between the Ministry and 

the Commission, should act on such 

documents. While these uncertainties 

were previously restricted to Ardhi 

House, they are slowly emerging at 

County level after assumption of office 

by the Commission’s organs, the County 

Land Management Boards. 

I have found county land registrars 

anxious about who should now act on 

disputes presented. Other practitioners 

report subtle supremacy wars between 

county land officers in charge of 

land offices and the county land 

management board secretaries. Such 

competition is unhealthy for technical 

processes. 

For lack of background knowledge, 

many observers have attributed the 

overt and subtle wars in the Ministry to 

personalities, especially at the level of 

Cabinet Secretary and the Commission 

Chair. That isn’t so. Remember that the 

Commission assumed office during the 

tenure of Permanent Secretary Dorothy 

Angote. The previous Minister James 

Orengo had then moved on, leaving 

Angote to hold sway at the top. There 

were differences with the Commission 

till she left. In came Charity Ngilu and, 

with her political flair, the wars escalated. 

Now there is Fred Matiang’i. It’s just that 

he has a different style but insiders 

will tell you that subtle wars remain. 

And they can’t end till we confront 

the situation. But what has been the 

problem? 

LAND LAWS DONATED TECHNICAL 

POWERS TO LAND COMMISSION 

While the national land policy intended 

to give Kenyans a technical land 

commission, the constitution changed 

that. A good read of article 67 reveals 

that the constitution bequeathed us a 

commission with largely advisory powers 

of advising, recommending, assessing, 

encouraging or monitoring processes 

without direct implementation roles. 

But during law making, stakeholders in 

the sector, informed by their previous 

frustrations with the Lands Ministry, 

donated some technical roles to the 

commission through the Sub-Article 67 

(3) which allows parliament to prescribe 

any other functions to the commission. 

Pundits however observe that if the 

constitution had so intended, it would 

have specifically spelt such roles in its 

main text. In trying to mitigate some of 

the dramatic proposals, serving officers 

in the technical departments of the 

Ministry tried to temper some of the 

provisions. But none of these groups, 

and later parliament, had sufficient 

time to effectively read and review 

the entire text of the three bills (Land, 

Land Registration and National Land 

Commission) for harmony and technical 

rationale before enactment. 

The enacted bills therefore ended up 

with gaps and contradictions. Within 

one technical process, for instance land 

registration, the statutes would give the 

commission some role and leave the 

other to the Cabinet Secretary. In fact, the 

Land Act provides that the commission 

will manage settlement programmes 

while leaving the Land Adjudication 

Act, which gives the Cabinet Secretary 

powers to appoint officers to deal and 

oversee such programmes, unrepealed. 

The contradictions are obvious to 

anyone who takes time to objectively 

read the three laws. And because of 

the continuity required by the technical 

nature of the processes in the Lands 

Ministry, separate command centres 

will continue to occasion conflicts. 

Services are therefore at an all-time 

low. This won’t be cured by boardroom 

discussions or judicial interpretations. 

Indeed, in a recent high level discussion 

on the matter, I illustrated the dilemma 

through the analogy of the legendary 

two mothers who claimed the same 

child. Their attempts to each claim half 

the child convinced observers that none 

of them meant well. It is so for the Lands 

Ministry and the Commission. Their 

continued claims to maintain mandate 

despite the inefficiencies and delays in 

service delivery occasioned by the legal 

muddle can only be read as self-serving. 

They mustn’t be allowed to hold the 

country hostage any longer. 

PARLIAMENT NEEDS TO EFFECT 

AMENDMENTS 

During our discussions, I pleaded with 

the National Assembly and the Senate 

Committees on Land to reflect upon the 

land governance challenges we have 

observed for over two years and boldly 

amend the law for Kenya. Because of 

the donated roles, the Commission has 

ended up diverted from its key function 

of managing public land. 

Little wonder that irregular practices 

have visited us much more furiously 

during the commission’s tenure of 

office. It would therefore serve Kenya’s 

land administration well if Parliament 

considered the provisions intended 

to clarify the roles between the Lands 

Ministry and the Land Commission while 

scrutinising and discussing the Land 

Laws (Amendment) Bill 2015 which is 

currently before the National Assembly 

Departmental Committee on Lands. 

EVICTION CLAUSES WILL UNDERMINE 

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT 

Parliament will however need to be 

quite careful with provisions within this 

bill which appear to embolden land 

invaders and could fuel invasions into 

private land in future. The provision 

on evictions particularly provides that 

unlawful occupiers of private land will 

only be evicted after the owner has 

given the unlawful occupier a notice of 

not less than three months in a language 

understood by the occupier, published 

the notice in at least two newspapers of 

national circulation and also displayed 

the notice in not less than five strategic 

locations within the occupied land. 

The notice must also specify any terms 

and conditions for the removal of 

buildings and the reaping of crops on 

the land. The unlawful occupier is also 

at liberty to go to court to contest the 

notice. The court may cancel, vary or 

add conditions to the notice and can 

also suspend the notice or order for 

compensation. 

This all sounds like shifting the burden 

of proof to the land owner and not the 

unlawful occupier. If the provision is 

upheld in the final law, then we may 

witness more land invasions and trespass 

in the urban and rural areas in future. 

Indeed, given such legal provisions, a 

suave mobiliser would frustrate any 

land owner into submission by either 

contesting the arguing that they never 

saw/received the notice, arguing its 

contents or just getting a good lawyer 

to keep procrastinating court hearings. 

The provision appears to contradict 

article 40 of our constitution on the 

protection of rights to property. If not 

struck out or modified, it will be used to 

frustrate real estate development in the 

country.

WHAT’S NEW IN UPPERHILL? 

KGBS Board members with 

trainers from the Green 

Building Council of South 

Africa and trainees during the 

2015 Society’s Launch. 

Right now land is a predominant focus 

especially in Upperhill where an acre 

going for more than Kshs. 500million. 

The general need to develop is there 

but is the infrastructure ready for these 

developments? 

The Kenya Green Building Society (KGBS) is an independent, non-profit organization registered with the World 

Green Building Council (WGBC) to serve as the green building movement leading the transformation of the 

Kenyan property industry to environmental sustainability. 

Road infrastructure will generate the 

rates to be higher now that the first 

phase of the Upperhill rehabilitation of 

roads project is at 7%, physical progress 

shy to its completion. In addition, Kenya 

Urban Roads Authority (KURA) recently 

signed an agreement with the Japan 

International Cooperation Agency 

(JICA) to expand Ngong road from The 

Junction to the Kenya National Library. 

The society’s mission to advocate and educate on green building design principles, practices, technologies and 

operations while enabling objective measurement and recognition of green buildings by use of a set framework 

in order to achieve an environmentally socially and economically progressive built environment, arose from the 

need to assist Kenya in the combat of Climate Change, which is a global challenge. We only have 1 earth and 

we believe humans can overcome this challenge if we put our efforts together from our diverse industries and 

backgrounds. 

As the KGBS is by and for the people of Kenya, we prioritized by finding a local common ground yet internationally 

benchmarked on what we call “green” so that the greenness of a building can be measured and thereafter 

There is now pressure to ensure all 

other areas of infrastructure are in line 

with this and government agencies 

like Nairobi Water and Sewerage 

Corporation are heeding the call. They 

are seeking investment of Kshs. 2 billion 

to increase the water supply to 50,000 

cubic metres in 18 months for the entire 

Nairobi area. 

Currently, water being received from 

Kabete Pumping Station is insufficient 

for Nairobi and that is why there is a 

water crisis all over the city. Some areas 

have been reported to go months 

without water and forced to buy or sink 

a borehole to mitigate the scarcity. 

There is need for the Athi Water Services 

Board to identify more sources of water 

to solve this crisis. We also hope through 

the 2016 International Congress of 

African Water Association (AFWA) more 

solutions will be identified. 

On the other hand there is the looming 

issue of sewerage which property 

owners are as much to blame as the 

sewerage company. 

Cases of sewer leaks are usually 

attributed to the congestion of sewer 

pipes caused by property owners. It is 

our responsibility to maintain sewer 

service laterals from their buildings 

until the pipes transition onto public 

property. 

At UHDA, infrastructure is at the top 

of our list of priorities where our role 

helps to shape the services the national 

and county government provides. We 

believe that if associations such as ours 

continue to raise such issues directly to 

the authorities, we will have less cases of 

poor service delivery. 

For more information about us, write to us 

at upperhill@uhda.or.ke or simply visit our 

website and get to know us better on www. 

uhda.or.ke . 

continuously improved. This basic starting point has allowed KGBS to chart Education and Awareness programs 

reaching out to all Kenyans covering all age groups from nursery children to adults in different sectors. The Green 

Apple Day of Service has recorded a total of 2120 volunteers since the year 2012 to date as well as 26 schools 

getting involved to ensure a clean, safe, healthy and productive environment for the future generation. KGBS has 

also trained and/or educated up to 72 professionals including assessors and faculty members from the industry on 

green building technologies of which some are already Green Star Accredited Professionals while others are in the 

process of completing the course and being awarded the internationally recognized accreditation. 

Our Passion for green building excellence has allowed us to be part of a global solution rather than part of the 

problem. Thus far, we have managed to pool like-minded professionals to get to this stage and we need you going 

forward! Be part of this this great movement today and influence the future.

NCC BUILDING PERMITTING APPROVALS 

NAIROBI CITY COUNTY GOVERNMENT BUILDING 

PERMITTING APPROVALS ACTIVITY REPORT 

JANUARY – DECEMBER 2015 

PERMIT APPLICATION ACTIVITY BY LOCALITY 


SOURCE 

The 2015 Planning Permitting Activity 

Report provides a summary of statistical 

information on planning permitting 

activity in Nairobi from January to 

December 2015. During this reporting 

period, only statistics from the Nairobi 

City County Government are used as 

references. 

This report uses standardized data 

submitted to Nairobi City County. 

The report highlights information on 

applications received, development 

locations, types and values, department 

revenue from applications and permit 

processing performance. 

INTRODUCTORY SUMMARY ON THE 

REPORT 

A total of 2408 planning applications 

were reviewed during this period. Other 

key statistics from this report include: 

1. Value of approved permits 

representing over Kshs. 152.2 

billion worth of development 

projects and permitting fees 

collected over Kshs. 1.5 billion; 

2. The highest value of building 

PERMIT APPLICATION ACTIVITY BY LOCALITY 

There are more development activities on the Western side of 

Nairobi compared to the Eastern side probably because of the 

extra space available and the demand for housing. The highest 

permits were approved in the areas of Karen, Westlands, 

Industrial Area, Parklands and Eastleigh. 

1. Karen has the highest percentage of permits localitywise. 

This would be as a result of the ongoing 

construction of the Southern Bypass connecting the 

Nairobi - Naivasha Highway to Mombasa Road. The 

bypass has also enabled easy and fast commuting to 

the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Wilson 

Airport. The neighbourhood has an organized road 

network, with properly connected entry and exit routes 

that lead to and from Nairobi’s CBD. This would be one 

of the factors the developers might have considered 

due to proximity and thus convenience. The high 

New Courtyard at the Aga Khan Hospital, Nairobi. 

submitted for the planning 

approval by NCCG was Kshs. 8, 

043, 570, 000 by Avic International 

Real Estate and the maximum 

submission fee paid was Kshs. 

131, 250, 000. On average the 

estimated value of development 

was Kshs. 63, 259, 238 and that of 

the submission fee was Kshs. 643, 

668; 

3. 10.59 % of the total number of 

buildings permitted/approved 

were located in Karen, 4.942% 

in Westlands and 4.776% of the 

permits approved were located in 

the Industrial area; 

4. Building Classification as based on 

the Building Code – 1911 buildings 

(79.4%) in Domestic Class 

(domestic building, commercial 

developments and offices), 311 

buildings (12.9%) in Public Class 

(religious buildings, social halls, 

libraries, schools, etc.) and 186 

buildings (7.7%) in Warehouse 

Class (factories, industries and go 

downs). 

A comparative analysis is provided for 

the performance of all 4 quarters of the 

year. 

number of permits in the Karen area are also very 

likely due to the fact that rent or property owning in 

Karen attracts high revenue. This is a likely factor that 

developers considered in achieving better return on 

capital; 

2. Lavington has the least number of permits amongst 

the top 10 areas of development regardless of being 

very close to the CBD. Embakasi and Kilimani areas 

attract fewer developments due to traffic and building 

congestion. Lavington may be a discouraging location 

for developers to set up office buildings as more and 

more businesses are opting to be headquartered in the 

Westlands are which has more space to accommodate 

offices. 

NB: Localities that do not appear in the graph had less than 1% 

permit approval activity. 

DWELLING RELATED ACTIVITY ACROSS NAIROBI 

Buildings approved included 

domestic buildings, commercial 

developments, offices, religious 

buildings, social halls, libraries, 

schools, factories, industries and 

go downs. The following graph 

identifies permit applications that 

relate to various building classes. 

1. It can be noted that 79.36% of the planning submitted 

under the building class category were domestic 

class which includes domestic buildings, commercial 

developments and offices. This can be majorly attributed to 

numerous emerging businesses, including but not limited 

to foreign investors and SMEs which have increased the 

demand for offices; 

2. Another major contributing factor is rapid urban 

population growth. According to Kenya National Bureau of 

Statistics 2012 - 2013 Kenya National Housing Survey Basic 

Report, urban population is projected to grow by 50% by 

2030 hence the increasing demand for residential houses. 

This has led to more planning for domestic class buildings 

by developers.

BUILDING CLASS BY LOCALITY 

THE VALUE TREND OF DEVELOPMENT PERMITTED BY THE NAIROBI CITY COUNTY GOVERNMENT 

1. Karen has the highest number of 

domestic class buildings approved 

because it is more of a residential 

area; 

2. Industrial area topped in planning 

related to the warehouse class and 

this was mainly due to it being an 

area occupied by a large number 

of manufacturing companies and 

hence the increased need to have 

more warehouses to meet the storage 

space demand; 

3. Westlands is ranked the highest in 

terms of public class buildings as 

there is more land for expansion. 

1. 38% of the buildings 

presented for approval 

were valued between 

ten million and fifty 

million. This is mainly 

because most of them 

are residential rather 

than single dwelling or 

commercial. 

NUMBER OF APPROVALS BY ZONAL USER DENSITY 

1. Residential use accounted for 

52.91% of the approvals due to a 

high demand by Kenyans to own 

homes. This is brought about by 

the increase in the middle income 

earning population who prefer to 

incur the cost of buying a home 

rather than renting; 

2. Residential developments are 

more profitable and developers 

invest more in residential houses. 

Influx of foreign residents in Kenya 

has also increased the demand for 

residential houses mostly in the 

high end areas. This has been a 

factor considered by developers; 

3. Commercial accounted for 11.67% 

of the total number of buildings 

approved due to major commercial 

banks and supermarkets opening 

up branches in Nairobi (Lamudi 

Kenya). 

2. Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 

had the highest number 

of permit approvals at 

685 buildings and 722 

buildings respectively, 

with a significant decrease 

in the last quarter of the 

year to 529 buildings; 



21 

22



THE VALUE TREND OF DEVELOPMENT PERMITTED BY THE NAIROBI CITY COUNTY GOVERNMENT 

3. Quarter 2 had the highest 

investment in terms 

of estimated value of 

buildings. Interestingly, 

the last quarter of 2015 

posted the highest total 

submission fee of Kshs. 

409, 224, 446; 

4. June had the highest 

number of permit 

approvals. 

On average the 

number of days taken 

gradually increase as 

the year goes by. 

PERMIT PROCESSING PERFORMANCE 

June had the highest 

number of approvals, with 

405 approvals. According 

to sources, landlords had 

been earning 23% returns 

on let apartments which 

was the highest since year 

2009. Due to high return 

increase over the years the 

developers were motivated 

into investing more into 

developments to enjoy the 

profits. This was one of the 

factors that led to the high 

increase in the number of 

approvals this month. 

Most of the permits 

took more than 

one month to be 

approved. This 

accounted for 

54.58% of the total 

percentage. This 

delay in the approval 

process is a cause 

for concern and the 

Nairobi City County 

Government needs 

to offer sufficient 

explanation as to the 

reasons behind this 

delay.

The Developer’s 

Digest 

A KPDA PUBLICATION 

MEDIA PACK 2016 

The Developer’s Digest is a bi-monthly 

e-newsletter supported and published 

by the Kenya Property Developers 

Association and designed by Insync 

MEDIA Limited. It targets the various 

players in the property industry in 

Kenya and highlights a wide spectre 

of issues affecting our members, other 

professionals, manufacturers and both 

private and public sector players in the 

industry. We seek to encourage positive 

dialogue and development. 

The Developer’s Digest is filled with 

current industry news, updates on the 

Association’s ongoing activities, views, 

interesting facts and specialty advertising 

messages. 

It is a free downloadable Mobile App 

onto any mobile device. 

We at The Developer’s Digest will work 

with you to create the most effective 

multi-platform advertising strategy that 

will ensure you reach your targeted 

consumer every direction they look. After 

all, the distance between you and your 

consumer, is no longer a straight line. 

If you take up advertising with The 

Developer’s Digest, we are also willing to 

offer you an opportunity for you to have 

interactive banner advertisements on our
