The Nairobi County government has threatened to tow vehicles parked along pedestrian pathways across the city.

In a statement on Sunday, June 1, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja stressed that motorists should refrain from parking their vehicles on the walkways or face repercussions.

Sakaja, who was referencing a video he posted on his social media account, which showed county officials towing a car that had attempted to use the walkway, said that this will serve as a lesson and warning to others who attempt to do the same. "This person will be a lesson to others who try to use the walkways.

Walkways are strictly for pedestrians," the Nairobi boss said.
