Nairobi Governor Sakaja Johnson has laid out his plan to transform the city’s Central Business District (CBD)

Speaking at Christ in Africa Church during a Sunday service attended by Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), Sakaja outlined measures aimed at upgrading infrastructure and enhancing the city’s aesthetics.

“As part of our commitment to clean and upgrade the city, landlords within the CBD will be required to repaint their buildings and install security lighting. A notice to this effect will be issued this week, giving them 90 days to comply,” announced Sakaja.

The governor emphasized the city’s determination to enforce compliance with regulations, including an ongoing crackdown on illegal advertisements along corridors and walkways.

“These hanging ads violate city bylaws and must be removed. Putting them back is equally illegal, and we will not relent in this effort,” he stated.

Sakaja also highlighted the continued push to restore order in the city by removing hawkers from main corridors and walkways.

“Cleanliness and order are non-negotiable. Those who defy city regulations will face the law,” he warned.

The facelift extends to infrastructure upgrades, with several roads in the CBD and estates like Kilimani and Kileleshwa already undergoing recarpeting.

“Significant progress is being made, and residents will soon notice the difference. More roads will be recarpeted in the coming months,” Sakaja assured.
