Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui is adamant that the county has to be declared Kenya s third city, after Mombasa and Nairobi as it is one of the highest contributors to the value of goods produced in the country.
In November 2020, the motion was approved by the Nakuru County Assembly but failed to get a nod in the Senate after reports emerged that the administration was rounding and dumping street children in a forest.
The motion was halted, however, Kinyanjui said that he will push and lobby for the project which will adopt one of the world s unique building techniques; green building technology.
