Over 4,500 new parking spaces mooted in Nairobi

Plans are underway to create more parking spaces within the Nairobi Central Business District, aimed at easing congestion. The proposal by the Nairobi County Government to build a parking building under the public-private partnership (PPP) framework has been approved by the PPP Unit at Treasury.

If the project is realised, the 11 multi-storey parking silo will provide about 4,500 new parking spaces. It will also house commercial facilities. “A feasibility report has already been carried out by the Nairobi County Government and handed to us,” said PPP Unit Director Eng Stanley Kamau. “We will be meeting next week to evaluate and deliberate the report before we forward it to the PPP Committee, together with the recommendations for approval.”
