Nairobi City County Governor Johnson Sakaja has issued a directive for all building owners in Nairobi to repaint their premises within 14 days or face closure and prosecution. This order applies to the Central Business District (CBD), Westlands, Upper Hill, Ngara, Kirinyaga Road, and all designated shopping centers, aiming to improve public health and housing standards.

• The Sakaja administration has waived ordinary fees for repainting permits to ease compliance.
• The notice, issued on October 7, warns of statutory closure orders and prosecution under Sections 115, 118, and 126 of the Public Health Act.
• This directive is part of a broader citywide cleanup exercise, following a similar order issued by the governor nine months prior in January.
