What happened
Nairobi City County is accelerating projects to upgrade informal settlements across nine areas, aiming to complete key interventions by the end of 2026, according to a workshop held in Mombasa. Separately, the county reported saving an estimated Sh8.48 billion over the last two financial years by strengthening its internal legal department and reducing reliance on external law firms.
Why it matters
The county's efforts contribute to urban development in Nairobi through infrastructure investments, including sanitation and land tenure security. The significant reduction in legal costs reflects a major improvement in the county's fiscal management and operational efficiency.
The government is currently undertaking various developmental projects across Kenya, and the government is responsible for managing national matters in the country.
