NAIROBI, KENYA: City Hall officials on Wednesday took over management of the Aga Khan Sports Centre over Sh4.7 million rates arrears. The officers erected a signpost and a banner showing the establishment was now under the management of the county government.
“Tenants in buildings that have been clamped down due to an arrears in rates will now pay rent directly to the county government until the money is recovered,” said John Ntoiti, the sub county administrator.
Ntoiti added that the sports centre was among the many properties owned by the Aga Khan Foundation which owes the county a total of Sh150m.
He said there are hospitals, schools, and car parks under the foundation, but they don’t pay rates.
Maendeleo House, which also defaulted on rate payment, was spared after it cleared its arrears amounting to Sh450,000
