BENEFITS
S.R.A MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
Lobbying for Gov. Services.
Over the years SRA has been a community voice on behalf of its members. With the onset of Devolution, Public participation has become central to Government services delivery. Syokimau Estate is well represented by SRA on this front. We have worked with the Central Government as well as County government departments with notable success.
Upholding Value of Properties
Syokimau Estate is a controlled development estate. The minimum subdivision allowed is one single dwelling family unit in an eighth of an acre. SRA has fought hard to maintain this standard against rogue developers whose plan is to densify the estate with multiple dwellings and undesirable commercial developments. We have engaged the County Assembly of Machakos where our zoning plan was passed in 2017.
Protecting Residents Welfare
Our robust Welfare and publicity committee has taken residents welfare as its core mandate. In this effort, SRA has been able to secure very beneficial insurance Policies for our members. One of these member’s insurance policies is the Last Respect insurance Policy provided by APA insurance ltd. We have seen tremendous benefits to our members on this policy among other SRA social Benefits.
Safeguarding the Environment
One of our priorities is our environment. With commercial interests increasing day after day, SRA has had to go to court in numerous occasions to fight rogue developers. We have been able to stop or repulse many environmentally harmful developments. Our Environment committee Leader has worked tirelessly to engage NEMA / the Environment Tribunal who have been our very helpful partners in securing our environment.
Youth Mentorship
Over the years SRA has been a community that through our youth and sports committee cherish the future of our society through various youth programmes, Talent identifications and mentorship. organizing the Annual Marathon event as well as our biggest calendar event which is the Family Fun Day. We have a fully-fledged youth and sports committee led by the youth themselves who also sit at the Excom to deliberate on matters youth.
Security/Inform & Educate

This is the sole responsibility of the Welfare & Publicity Committee.
