The Nairobi City County Government has launched a targeted campaign to recover outstanding property rates in Roysambu Ward.

Led by County Attorney Christine Ireri and Sub County Administrator Jane Munyiri, a delegation of officers began issuing demand notes to property rate defaulters across the area.

"This operation marks the official rollout of a broader countywide initiative aimed at increasing revenue collection and ensuring compliance with property rate obligations,” they told Citizen Digital.

The officials added that they will conduct door-to-door engagements with ratepayers, issue notices, and educate residents on the importance of timely payments.

Nairobi County has intensified its efforts to clamp down on property owners who have not paid land rates, supported by the recently enacted National Rating Act, No. 15 of 2024," said Christine Ireri.

Roysambu was prioritized due to the high number of defaulters and the urgent need to improve service delivery by bolstering the county’s revenue base.

“This is not just about enforcement; it is about accountability and sustainability,” Ireri emphasized.

The campaign is expected to extend to other wards across Nairobi in the coming weeks, with county officials warning that legal action may follow for persistent non-compliance.

“Every rate paid directly supports essential services, from waste management to road maintenance.”
