The project, which will be carried out in a phased approach, will commence in July.

According to the Nairobi County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP), Sh138.2 million has been set aside for the first phase of the project.

The modern kiosks will be constructed in Pumwani, Kware, Pangani, Kabiro, Dandora, Kariobangi North, Mowlem, Hamza/Maringo, Kangemi and Woodley/Kenyatta Golf Course wards.
