While speaking to the City County Cabinet on Tuesday, Sakaja said that the new resolutions include leasing and renting designated spaces within the parks to attract private investment and improve facilities for park users.
This will help establish sustainable income streams to fund park maintenance and development. It will also enhance public amenities by introducing recreational facilities, eateries and event spaces for public enjoyment.
The Nairobi Governor stated.
This initiative allows others to invest in the facility, earn a living and at the same time, generate revenue for the country ensuring visitors enjoy better services.
Johson Sakaja added.
The move being part of Kenya Kwanza’s administration, the overall plan is to invite the private sector to invest in the country’s infrastructure through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
