Simba urges NMS to erect statue of lion at Uhuru Park in new renovations

A city MP has urged Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) to consider erecting the statue of a lion at Uhuru Park. Dagoretti South MP Simba Arati, whose constituency stretches to Uhuru Park, says that would suit his name in the ongoing rehabilitation of the historic park in the city.

He spoke after some politicians claimed there were plans to erect a hotel at the park mostly when the iconic pavilion was demolished to allow for the ongoing rehabilitation expected to end around February next year.
