No nightclub in Uhuru Park, LSK and Greenbelt now warn Sakaja

"This venue will provide an outlet for enjoyment without disturbing residential areas. The tendering process will be conducted transparently."

But in a letter to the Governor, the two groups sought an explanation on his plans to convert the park into a commercial centre.

"The residents of great Nairobi County would like to understand the time-frame for reopening the non-commercialised, extensive green spaces in all that formerly known as central park within CBd," the letter reads.

The recreational park was sealed off in early 2022 to undergo a facelift by the Kenya Defence Forces.

The groups also asked for public participation reports. "I have instructions to demand from you, which I hereby do, so that you immediately withdraw the pronouncements," an advocate of the organisations wrote.

They want the Governor to affirm that Uhuru Park and all green spaces maintained by the county would not be commercialised, failure to which they will take legal action against him.
