Nairobians pay enough rates to demand better services from City Hall

For decades, City Hall has been held hostage by cartels and rogue administrators, siphoning public resources and in the process denying residents decent services. There have been reports of corruption, grabbing of public utilities such as toilets, school or playing grounds by individuals put in positions of influence by voters or the authorities.

Many are former mayors, town clerks and councillors as they were known a few years ago, who have been dragged to courts over misappropriation of public funds.
