Each borough will be managed by a dedicated borough manager, responsible for coordinating all county services within their area.
Sakaja said the new structure is designed to ensure every part of Nairobi has a “champion” overseeing local operations.
“Every corner of the city now has a champion - Borough Managers who are accountable for local service delivery. This is not just an administrative change; it is a shift in how we serve Nairobians,” Sakaja said.
The Central Borough, covering Starehe, Mathare, and Kamukunji, will be led by Charles Mabonga, with service centres set up at City Hall and Shauri Moyo.
The Eastern Borough, comprising Embakasi North, Embakasi West, and Embakasi Central, will have George Muga at the helm, with a service centre at Umoja I Sub-County Administrator’s office.
The Western Borough, which includes Westlands, Dagoretti North, and Dagoretti South, will be managed by Janet Kimeu, operating from City Park.
In the South Eastern Borough, covering Embakasi South, Embakasi East, and Makadara, John Saruni will oversee services, which will be delivered from the Huduma Centre in Makadara.
Dabasso Wario will head the Southern Borough, comprising Kibra and Lang’ata, with service delivery coordinated from Joseph Kangethe Social Hall.
The Northern Borough, covering Kasarani, Ruaraka, and Roysambu, will be led by Serah Gichamba, with a service centre at Gatharaini Grounds.
Governor Sakaja emphasised that borough managers will be directly responsible for the performance of county services within their areas.
“With the creation of six boroughs, we are bringing services closer to the people and ensuring every resident feels the impact of a responsive and accountable county government,” he added.
A borough functions as a defined town district with its own administrative unit. This system is expected to streamline operations, reduce red tape, and make it easier for Nairobians to access essential county services.
