Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has called for an immediate end to the Rural Electrification levy on city residents, arguing it unfairly burdens them and hinders urban development. He proposes redirecting these funds to improve street lighting and security in Nairobi.

• Nairobi residents pay Sh8 billion annually in electricity bills, which includes the Rural Electrification charge, despite living in an urban county.
• Governor Sakaja also reported that Nairobi County's own-source revenue rose to Sh13.8 billion this year, the highest since devolution, up from Sh10.8 billion when he took office.
• He criticized the national road-funding formula, noting counties control 70% of the road network but receive only Sh3 billion out of Sh119 billion allocated nationally, urging the Senate to reform this disparity.
