Parking near mosques on Fridays during prayer hours has also been exempted since April 2023. Governor Sakaja emphasized the importance of the Friday exemption, stating, "We will allow our brothers and sisters attending prayer services to do so freely. There was no clamping of vehicles at that time."
However, the county government cautioned city residents about potential scams amidst the positive announcement. The county government emphasized that city residents should make all payments related to parking fees strictly through the NairobiPay system, which is cashless.
