Hourly Parking Charges To Decongest Nairobi CBD and Increase Revenue – City Hall
Motorists in Nairobi will soon have to dig deeper into the pockets as City Hall prepares to introduce hourly parking fees in the Central Business District(CBD).
According to Nairobi’s Finance and Economic Planning Chief Officer, Halkano Waqo, the hourly charges will help boost City Hall’s revenue as well as decongest the CBD.
“As a growing city we have to explore all the mechanisms to decongest the city as well as get revenue for the county,” he said.
Waqo also noted the hourly fee will also discourage collusion between motorists and parking attendants.
