Nairobi City Governor Johnson Sakaja has waived application and approval fees for minor building repairs until the onset of the anticipated El Niño rains.

• The waiver applies to minor home and compound repairs, such as installing gutters, to help residents prepare for heavy rainfall.
• This initiative by the Nairobi City County Government aims to mitigate the impact of flooding, which has historically affected the capital.
• Normally, minor repair permits cost between Ksh4,000 and Ksh10,000.
