Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has revealed that 200,000 landowners in Nairobi have not paid land rates for years, leading to an estimated KSh 60 billion in uncollected annual revenue. He warned that improved compliance is crucial for the city's financial potential to be fully realized.

• Only 50,000 of Nairobi's 250,000 land parcels currently pay rates.
• The National Rating Act, a new law, will modernize valuation, expand rateable properties, and provide stronger enforcement tools, including penalties and potential property auctions for defaulters.
• The Nairobi Pay digital revenue platform has increased the city's own-source revenue from KSh 10.8 billion to KSh 13.8 billion in three years, marking the highest collection since devolution.
