When Governor Mike Sonko took the oath of office in 2017, he had promised to fix Nairobi’s problems within 100 days. Some achievements cited in the Fiscal Strategy Paper for 2019-20 are improved infrastructure, better healthcare, better waste management and education. In waste management, 900 tonnes of solid waste are collected daily and taken to the Dandora Dumpsite. Sixty tonnes of solid waste have been recovered from Nairobi River and its banks and about 10km of riparian land recovered. Four city stadiums are being rehabilitated for Sh350 million — City Stadium in Makongeni, Joseph Kang’ethe in Kibera, Ziwani in Kariokor and Kihumbuini in Parklands.
