The statement comes after recent allegations by the local community regarding the land ownership along Outering Road Nairobi. According to the statement, SUPKEM was officially allocated the land in 1982 by the Nairobi City Mayor a move that was part of a broader effort to support community-based religious and social development initiatives. During a press briefing on Saturday in Nairobi, SUPKEM founding members outlined ambitious plans to transform the currently undeveloped land into a vibrant multi-use complex, with an estimated investment of Ksh 24 billion. The proposed infrastructure will include residential rental units, retail shops, a modern mosque, malls, supermarket, and additional community facilities. "This project represents not only an investment in infrastructure but also in the social and spiritual welfare of the Muslim community in Nairobi," said Al Hajj Shaban Bakari, one of SUPKEM’s founding members. "We have a historical responsibility to ensure that the land is used for the benefit of the community, and we are committed to transparency and proper development." According to Supkem the development project will generate an estimated Ksh 20 million monthly that will go towards development of other projects across the country that will benefit the Muslim community. The council is now urging members of the Muslim community to engage in dialogue and shun speculations. Supkem provided land title deeds as prove of the councils legal ownership of the 6 acres piece of Land. https://youtu.be/52tRGOIlqT8?si=qMWTzIb86ONpILm1
