As of December 4th, 2019, motorists parking their cars in Nairobi's central business district will have to pay Sh400 daily, a 100 percent increase from the previous fee of Sh200.
According to a notice issued by County Director of Parking Services Tom Tinega, the new rates are a result of the Finance Act 2019, which introduced new tax measures to boost revenue.
Motorists in other commercial centers, categorized as Zone 2, will be charged Sh200 to park. This includes areas such as Westlands, Upperhill, and Ngara.
Motorists parking in commercial centers not listed under Zone 1 and Zone 2 will be charged Sh100.
Private car owners will have to pay Sh7,000 for a monthly parking ticket, Sh18,000 for a three-month ticket, Sh32,000 for six months, and Sh55,000 for one year.
As per the notice, motorists will be required to top up their parking fee payment if they migrate to a zone with a higher charge.
