Nairobi County Executive for Finance and Economic Planning Allan Igambi said the county had several interventions to improve revenue collection from parking including increasing enforcement and improving supervision.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo boost revenue collection specifically for parking stream, the county government will begin implementing the mentioned interventions and at the same time\u00a0also leveraging on technology that offers integrated electronic system for all revenue streams as well as sealing off of leakages,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Finance boss also revealed that all saccos will be issued with notices for those vehicles which are non-compliant and the list will be passed to the enforcement officer to take necessary action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parking fees is among six key revenue streams for Nairobi County with the others include building permits and billboards and adverts, rates, single business permit, house rents which account for close to 80 per cent of the county\u2019s annual own-source revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the financial year that ended on June 30, 2020, parking fees raised Sh1.54 billion against a target of Sh2.76 billion. Sh1.9 billion was collected against a target of Sh3 billion in 2018-19 while Sh1.9 billion was collected in 2017-18.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2016-17, Sh2 billion was collected against Sh3.5 billion target while in 2015-16, Sh2 billion was collected against Sh2.6 billion target.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sh2 billion was collected in 2014-15 against a target of Sh2.8 billion while parking fees also failed to meet its target, with Sh1.5 billion collected against Sh1.8 billion in 2013-14.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nairobi Metropolitan Service has already automated four parking lots namely Desai Road, Machakos Bus station, Sunken Car park (along Aga Khan walk) and Nairobi law court parking.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was per President Uhuru Kenyatta\u2019s directive to the entity on March 18, 2021 to have automation of parking facilities in at least three areas within Nairobi.<\/span><\/p>\n

In September last year, the county assembly passed the Nairobi County Finance Bill, 2019, giving City Hall the go-ahead to charge Sh400 parking fees daily in the CBD starting December 4.<\/span><\/p>\n
