Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has revealed that the County government has issued auction notices to land rate defaulters within the city.

The Couty boss revealed that the defaulters commutatively owe Nairobi County a staggering Kes 1 trillion.

Further, he has urged the defaulters to settle their dues, warning that their properties risk being auctioned if they fail to settle their dues in due course.

”We have issued a notice to land defaulters and we will start taking action the week aftrer.We are going to repossess and auction following the procedure of the law because we want Nairobi to work.”

Sakaja added that it is only through paying taxes among them land rates that City Hall will deliver on its mandate.
