All buildings within Nairobi's Central Business District (CBD) will have to be fitted with a fresh coat of paint within the next three months, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has directed.

Sakaja attended a church service at the Church of Christ in Africa in Kariobangi South on Sunday where he revealed plans to make the directive official on Monday. "Everyone with buildings in the CBD, we will release a circular tomorrow.

All those buildings must be painted in 90 days," the governor said.

Sakaja revealed that the works going on in Nairobi were parts of a greater collaboration between the county and the national government, with the main focus being the rehabilitation of infrastructure like roads.
