NAIROBI, Kenya, June 3 – The Nairobi County Government has pledged to work with the Kenya Private Developers Association (KPDA) to ensure discipline and adherence to a more conducive environment for real estate development in Nairobi and beyond.

According to governor Johnson Sakaja, City Hall is ready to ensure here is discipline around the development of properties in the city.

“I have a competent team who will ensure all approvals are given through the correct channels.

Sakaja pointed out that the ICT Development teams will ensure the approval timelines are shortened.

Acting County Secretary Patrick Analo stated that the engagement marked “a pivotal moment in our mission to engage in strategic dialogue and advocate for policy reforms that will foster significant steps  in our ongoing commitment to fostering strategic partnerships with partner entities to drive meaningful policy reforms and ensure a sustainable and thriving real estate sector in Kenya.”
