President Uhuru kenyata has promised to help elavatign the lives of many resident living in the Eastlands area.
Speaking on Monday during a forum in Nairobi, Kenyatta said he is pleased with the development the capital is making, and his national government will continue working closely with the county government.
He also promised to ensure residents living in the informal settlements access basic social amenities.
“It is our intention to working closely to see how we can improve the lives of Nairobi residents through upgrading infrastructure so that the real owners of Nairobi – the people of Eastlands and informal settlements – can have proper roads, sewerage, water, street lighting as everybody else in the city county,” President Kenyatta said.
Deputy President William Ruto said the launch of the Nairobi County Data centre was the beginning of the transformation of the city and a testimony of the Government’s commitment to improving the lives of Kenyans.
Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko said apart from improving service delivery to Nairobi residents, the data centre will also boost the county’s revenue collection by ensuring people do not evade paying for services delivered.
