Nairobi has announced the hiring of six debt recovery firms to pursue property owners who have defaulted on land rates payments. The move comes as the city administration warns that failure to settle outstanding debts will result in legal action, including the potential attachment and auction of properties. The initiative aims to improve revenue collection and ensure compliance with municipal regulations.
The selected firms will be responsible for identifying defaulters and initiating recovery procedures. Property owners are urged to settle their debts promptly to avoid further complications. The city has emphasized that this action is part of broader efforts to enhance financial transparency and accountability in urban management.
The decision follows reports of increasing non-payment rates among residents, which have impacted the city’s ability to fund essential services. Officials have stated that the process will be conducted in accordance with local laws, ensuring due process for all involved parties. (eastleighvoice.co.ke)
