Relief for CBD building owners as Governor Sakaja waives painting fees

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has announced the waiver of painting permit fees for property owners within the city’s Central Business District (CBD).

This initiative aims to encourage landlords to repaint their buildings within 90 days, as outlined in a notice issued earlier this week.

Speaking during a meeting with sub-county and ward administrators, along with his executive team, Sakaja emphasized the importance of adhering to the directive.

“We have waived the painting permit fees to encourage landlords to paint their buildings within the 90-day period, as the notice issued yesterday stated,” he confirmed.

The waiver applies to several key areas within Nairobi, including the CBD, Westlands Shopping Centre, Upper Hill, and parts of Ngara.

This directive is part of a larger cleanup campaign by the Governor’s administration to restore the city’s image.

“This is the year of order. Nairobi needs to be clean, and together we can achieve that,” Sakaja said.
