The enterprising people of Nairobi County have no appetite for backward politics fueled by hatred, division, or tribalism. Their eyes are fixed on opportunity; on growing their hustles, expanding their enterprises, and securing a better future for their families.
Our duty is to match that determination with action. That is why we are transforming the face of Nairobi with bold, practical investments. We are committing Ksh200 billion toward the construction of 123,000 affordable homes and the development of 17 modern markets that will give traders safer, cleaner, more profitable places to do business.
This renewal is visible across the city. Streets are being lit. Roads are being upgraded. Health coverage is expanding. A comprehensive waste management plan is taking shape to restore order and cleanliness in our neighborhoods.
Most importantly, this transformation is opening doors for our young people. Today, 45,000 youth are earning a livelihood through the Nairobi River clean-up. Another 48,000 are actively engaged in the affordable housing programme. Thousands more are stepping into opportunity through digital and labour mobility initiatives that connect talent to jobs and enterprise.
