Schools and football clubs from Lanagata area in Kibera had lodged
there complain to administration over high fee being charged by group
of youth in order to use the nearest DC open group.
They claimed that youth associated with criminal activities in
the slum had taken over the community open ground charging School
children fee in order to use it.
According to Schools head who
talked to press they claimed that the said youth are charging them Ksh
300 per games every Friday without giving them receipt.
The most affected Schools are sponsored because they are supposed
top give sponsors receipt for every shilling they use, claiming that
they had been forced to do away with sports and games because there is
no open ground.
On there side football clubs had threaten to take action against
the youth because the ground was donated to the community and any youth
charging fee is criminal activities accusing for police from the
nearest DC office for protecting them.
The open ground is between former President Daniel Arap Moi
home. Army post and Kibera administration officers with full officers
and users wondered how the youth can take over the ground.
The
users also blamed Nairobi County for allowing youth to charge members of
the public fee, claiming that visitors coming to Kibera slum are
supposed to pay fee to hang or be attacked by criminals
DC open ground is used by over ten Schools and numerous clubs
from Kibera which means criminals are pocketing over 10,000 per week.
