Long-Term businesses must obtain Unified Permits, Sakaja says

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has issued a directive mandating the swift implementation of the Unified Business Permit (UBP) system for cess payments concerning established businesses.

The updated directive categorizes long-term businesses as those consistently operating at a single location for over six months, encompassing enterprises in markets and those permitted on road reserves.

Launched earlier this year, the UBP consolidates business, fire, food, health, and advertising licenses into a single platform accessible online via Nairobi Pay, the county’s e-services portal.

Governor Sakaja emphasized the economic advantages of the annual UBP for such businesses, noting its cost-effectiveness compared to the daily cess payments, which often do not reach the county and subject businesses to daily harassment.

Addressing a revenue mobilization gathering, the county leader expressed confidence in the financial outlook, citing the preceding fiscal year (FY 2022-23) as the most successful in five years. He urged the team to surpass previous achievements.

To facilitate payments, residents are encouraged to use the code *647#, directing funds to either Co-operative Bank (account name – Nairobi City County Revenue Collection; account number – 01141709410000) or Equity Bank (account name – Nairobi City County Revenue Collection, account number – 1770279910476).

Alternatively, they can utilize the self-service public portal at www.nairobiservices.go.ke. After creating an account and providing business details, users can apply for the required service. The Nairobi City County Government will review the application, generate an invoice for download, and upon payment, issue a permit for download.

Governor Sakaja stressed the imperative for the county to embrace technology swiftly, highlighting its potential to enhance revenue collection, monitor compliance, and facilitate decision-making. He issued a directive instructing county executives and chief officers to actively participate in revenue collection and mobilization efforts, collaborating with sub-county authorities.

“They will be required to monitor and assist sub-county and ward administrators in revenue mobilization exercises. They will also use this opportunity to monitor other on-ground projects and help with decision-making,” he added.
