The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has cautioned that the extensive refurbishment at Nairobi Central Station by the Kenya Railways Corporation could damage nearby buildings and cause environmental issues. These works are part of the larger Nairobi Railway City project, which aims to transform the area into a major transport hub.

• The Kenya Railways Corporation plans to construct multi-level buildings, platforms, and associated amenities on a 438-acre site.
• Contractors are advised to conduct regular noise surveys, maintain equipment to prevent structural damage, and minimize vegetation removal to combat biodiversity loss.
• Furthermore, measures to reduce air pollution, conserve energy, and manage traffic with marshals at construction sites have been recommended by NEMA.
