Sakaja added that his administration is in the process of reclaiming all social places that had been grabbed and given back their initial use.

“Some scrupulous people have grabbed some of these social amenities areas, we are reclaiming them, improving them and will create new ones to ensure every sub-county has at least a recreational facility,” he said.
