We have unveiled a KSh80 billion cooperation agreement between the National Government and the Nairobi City County Government to make the capital city more livable, secure, and efficient for the 4.4 million residents. In the agreement, we are committing KSh3.7 billion to complete 10,000 unfinished lights and install 40,000 lights around the city. Additionally, the National Government, through Kenya Power, will invest KSh1.5 billion in transformers and last mile connections in the informal settlements in the city. On water, we will spend KSh2.1 billion at Ng'ethu Treatment Plant to stop daily losses of about 50 million litres. Another KSh3 billion will go Gigiri-Shauri Moyo evacuation corridor to stabilise and extend supply to high demand zones. In regard to sanitation, we are committing KSh9 billion to build two parallel 27km trunk sewer network along the Nairobi River Corridor, and KSh6 billion for a new sewer plant to treat 60 million litres of waste water a day. An additional KSh3 billion will support last-mile sewer connectivity, while KSh15 billion has been earmarked for long-term sewer expansion across the city. At the same time, KSh8.7 billion will be spent to complete the upgrading of roads, bridges and drainage systems in the city. Moreover, we are also in the process of mobilising additional funding of KSh1.7 billion for 59km of roads in phase two beginning April 2026. In every ward, we will improve roads in a KSh5 billion programme, complemented by KSh3.7 from the county government. A further KSh1 billion will be dedicated to the improvement of drainage systems. We are also allocating KSh4 billion to deal with solid waste management, including providing 100 acres of land for Material Recovery Facilities, while the National Government will provide KSh2 billion. All these efforts will strengthen Nairobi's standing as a globally- respected African metropolis that reflects our national ambitions.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
