All Nairobi City Buildings to be Repainted by the End of September

The announcement comes after the lapse of a one-year extension of the directive issued by NMS to have all buildings within the CITY repainted is set to expire in September.

Last year on July 29, 2020, NMS had ordered repainting of all buildings in Nairobi City within 60 days as part of an ongoing beautification project.

The property owners were required to use colors that were originally approved for the building plans by the Nairobi County Government with any changes having to be approved by NMS.

NMS Director Mohammed Badi disclosed that his office issued a one-year extension period after building owners decried being economically affected by that Covid-19 pandemic.

“When people come and request for a grace period as NMS we considered. The business owners decried having being affected by Covid-19 to an extent where they had to lay off staff because of the pandemic," he explained.

However, NMS had positive results whereby many private owners have voluntarily painted their buildings.

 Badi also said all state-owned buildings were repainted where every ministry was tasked to repaint their properties which they did.
