?Nakuru town’s elevation to a city is now imminent, having put in place almost all the requirements. In September 2017, the (national) Cabinet approved the elevation of Nakuru and Eldoret to city status, joining the ranks of Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu.

Since then, Nakuru has been gearing up for the new status. Nakuru County’s CEC for Lands, Housing, Physical Planning and Urban Development Francis Mwangi says Nakuru has already complied with Section 9 of the Urban and Cities Act of 2011.
