Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has extended the deadline
for land rates payments to April 15, 2025, giving property owners more time to
comply without incurring penalties.
Sakaja, who met with revenue department officials Thursday
morning to assess revenue collection, urged that the deadline be extended.
He stated that this
measure aims to ease financial pressure on residents while improving revenue
collection for essential services.
“We understand the economic challenges Nairobians are
facing, and we want to give them ample time to settle their land rates without
penalties. This extension ensures fairness while encouraging compliance,”
Sakaja said.
The county government has urged property owners to take
advantage of the extension to avoid last-minute congestion, noting that many
have yet to make the required payments.
“Residents can conveniently pay via mobile phone or by
visiting Nairobi Pay service centers. Within this period, no penalties will be
charged,” Sakaja confirmed.
Governor Sakaja emphasized that this extension provides
Nairobians with additional time to meet their obligations before the county
takes action against defaulters.
