The Nairobi County Government has revealed that it will introduce new fines to all non-compliant businesses within the city.

According to a statement released on Sunday, July 6, the Finance County Executive Committee (CEC) member Charles Kerich claimed that the fines will target businesses that fail to pay for their licences on time.

According to Kerich, the fines, which he claimed will be done without increasing the cost of services, will be fundamental in ensuring accountability within the country's capital business ecosystem.

Additionally, the county government is expected to introduce more simplified digital payment methods, which businesspeople in the city can leverage to pay for the services conveniently.  An image of business shops in Nairobi, Kenya Photo  "We are not increasing the cost of services, but we will now introduce penalties for non-compliance.
