“In December, we will set aside some streets to display culture, food, creativity, have the nganya awards for the best-done matatus, have rugby, football and basketball tournaments and many other activities,” he said.

Addressing the woes of content creators, Sakaja said his administration was going to review the laws which shove content creators forcing them to cough up to Sh5,000 a day to shoot for a single day.
Governor said there was the need for business persons in the city to engage in business and not spend their time looking for compliance for their businesses.
“When we say we want to be pro-business it is not just passive to stop harassment of traders but we want to be proactive to facilitate and promote. Businesspeople should spend more time doing business and not chasing compliance issues,” he said.
