Nairobi: Same city, two views
We set Governor Sakaja’s September 2026 interview beside what residents told us at the zKe Nairobi Dialogues. See where they agree, and where they don’t.
This includes:
- Residents expressed deep frustration over perceived corruption, political favoritism, and leaders prioritizing personal wealth over community development.
- A prominent point of tension between residents and the county administration centers on deteriorating roads, poor construction standards, and severe drainage blockages.
- High youth unemployment and disillusionment are central grievances. Residents critiqued short-term stopgap initiatives, demanding sustainable economic opportunities.
- Discussions regarding health services highlighted severe deficits at local facilities, including understaffing, lack of emergency operational hours, and empty pharmacies.
