In early 2015, the County Government of Nairobi passed the Regularisation of Development Bill 2015. The Act provided for the regularisation of all unauthorised developments by November 10, 2016. To ensure that this exercise has full legal backing, it was later enacted in March 2016 to enhance development compliance and order within the city.
