Surveyors have opposed plans by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to charge all members of Nairobi County’s Urban Planning Technical Committee (UPTC), among other suspects.

They have also opposed plans by the Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja to constitute a new committee.

The surveyors said that, despite supporting the pursuit of accountability, the DPP should not prefer blanket charges against the entire committee but instead charge only those responsible for the crimes committed.
