The Nairobi County government has closed down four buildings in the central business district over unpaid rent and threatened to close 20 more buildings tomorrow.
According to the county leadership, the owners of the buildings have failed to pay millions in land rates, necessitating the immediate closure.
Nairobi County's Receiver of Revenue, Tiras Njoroge, said the move seeks to recover billions of shillings in unpaid land rates.
Njoroge said that those affected have failed to honour their part despite the county giving them time to show goodwill in paying the arrears.
