Governor Sakaja Rejects 500M for Official Residence
Nairobi Governor Sakaja Johnson has rejected a Sh .500 million budget that had been allocated for the construction of an official residence.
Sakaja says his priority is to better residents’ lives and not the construction of his house.
“I have just seen a budget that is allocating Ksh.500 million for the construction of the Governor’s and Deputy Governor’s houses. I have asked them to reallocate the money to other priority projects like construction of markets and creating jobs for our young people,” said the Nairobi governor.
Sajaka said the money will instead be used to build markets that will benefit Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMSE) in Nairobi.
“I already have a place where I live, why do I need Ksh.500 million for another residence? Let’s work for our people.”
The county government has pledged to build 20 new markets across the city for traders.
