Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has convened a high-level coordination meeting to prepare for President William Ruto’s anticipated address to the Nairobi County Assembly this Thursday.
The meeting brought together key stakeholders, including the County Assembly Speaker and leadership, the County Commissioner alongside National Government Administrative Officers (NGAO), regional police commanders, government reception officials, and State House protocol teams.
Deliberations focused on harmonising security, logistics, and protocol arrangements to ensure the presidential visit proceeds seamlessly.
President Ruto is expected to deliver a comprehensive update on the implementation of the KSh 80 billion cooperation agreement signed in February between the national government and Nairobi City County.
The agreement, spearheaded under Governor Sakaja, outlines an ambitious plan to transform the capital through a series of major infrastructure and service delivery projects.
Key initiatives under the programme include upgrades to drainage systems to mitigate chronic flooding, establishment of an integrated waste management and recycling framework, expansion of street lighting across residential estates, recarpeting of major roads, and the ongoing regeneration of the Nairobi River.
Last week, Governor Sakaja, who chairs the agreement’s implementation committee, led a delegation to State House, where they presented a progress report on the projects. The initiatives are expected to be completed within a 24-month timeframe.
The upcoming address is set to mark a historic milestone, becoming the first time a sitting President formally addresses the Nairobi County Assembly.
