The good Governor of Nairobi doing good so far. I did not vote in Nairobi but my 'moral support' was on YT2. I must now 'withdraw and apologize' for those jubilated emotions I may have had and indeed say...Kidero may have been the
right person for the job after all.
What came out of the public participation county forum:

*The budget for Nairobi County for 2013/14 will be Kes 31.5 billion
*Nairobi has about 600K plots and land rates will be an important source of internal revenue
