Nairobi County Governor Johnson Sakaja held his first meeting with six newly appointed Borough Managers, marking a significant step in the county's service decentralization drive announced last week. This initiative aims to streamline operations and bring essential county services closer to communities for improved efficiency and responsiveness.

• The decentralization includes reorganizing 17 sub-counties and 85 wards into a new borough administrative structure.
• Key figure: Governor Johnson Sakaja stated the shift is about ensuring residents feel a measurable improvement in service delivery.
• Specific Boroughs and their Managers include: The Central Borough (Starehe, Mathare, Kamukunji) led by Charles Mabonga; and the Eastern Borough (Embakasi North, Embakasi West, Embakasi Central) led by George Muga.
