The Nairobi City inspectorate department will as from next week commence 24-hour operations to boost service delivery to residents.
According to Nairobi deputy governor, Jonathan Mueke, the inspectorate departments currently operate for only eight hours a day, leaving the other hours at the mercy of irresponsible individual.
“We have been working hard to end lawlessness in this city but our diligent workers go home as early as 5pm in the evening and we have no one to enforce our laws after this time,” said Mueke.
The deputy governor stated that the county has over 2,000 inspectorate officers, with a massive 1,300 of them manning county installations, leaving about 700 city-county officers to enforce laws.
He said the county sub-committee has seven days to come up with a duty roster that will see the city-county officers work round the clock.
Mueke also said garbage contractors who take advantage of night darkness to dump waste in the city’s backstreet routes have their days numbered.
