Nairobi’s CBD set for transformation under Governor Sakaja’s revamp plan

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has unveiled an ambitious plan to revamp the city’s Central Business District (CBD) within the next 90 days. Speaking during a service at Christ in Africa Church on Sunday, January 19, the governor directed all building owners in the CBD to repaint their premises and install security lighting as part of measures to enhance the city’s aesthetics and safety.

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

This directive aligns with broader efforts to rehabilitate Nairobi’s infrastructure and enforce city regulations. Roads in the CBD, Kilimani, and Kileleshwa are already undergoing repairs, with the governor expressing gratitude to the President for financial support.

The initiative also addresses concerns raised by Nairobi City County Assembly Health Committee Chairperson Maurice Ochieng, who noted that many CBD buildings are dilapidated and pose health risks. He emphasized that failing to maintain buildings violates Section 118b of the Public Health Act Cap 242. “Compliance with public health laws is irreversible, and we caution building owners against ignoring these provisions,” Ochieng stated.

The facelift is part of Sakaja’s broader agenda, which includes tackling illegal advertisements, removing hawkers from main walkways, and enforcing waste management standards. “Cleanliness and order are non-negotiable. Those who defy city regulations will face the law,” Sakaja warned, underscoring the county’s commitment to restoring order.

Additionally, the county’s “Green Nairobi” initiative seeks to promote sustainable practices. County Environment Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria announced that businesses must maintain clean surroundings, install and service waste bins, and adhere to proper waste disposal protocols. Impromptu inspections will be conducted, and non-compliant businesses face prosecution.

The transformation efforts aim to foster a cleaner, safer, and more orderly Nairobi. “This is a collective responsibility. All stakeholders must play their part to ensure our city is cleaner and healthier,” Mosiria urged.
