Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja hopes to raise Sh19 billion from new land rates announced recently.

In the last three years, the county has been collecting about Sh2.5 billion in land rates. Property owners pay 25 per cent of the unimproved site value based on the 1980 Valuation Roll. The collection is against a target of Sh5 billion.
