The city council is set to increase parking fee to kshs. 250 with effect from tomorrow. This is after they got 'consent' from a motorist who had sued them to review it from the planned kshs. 300. I bet he got allocated some land somewhere prime!

As far as the council lawyer is concerned the other case by matatu owners covers PSVs only and therefore they will not be in contempt of court by shafting kawaida motorists. And this time they are using guerilla tactics! The implementation is immediate. It's harder for the court to reverse something than to stop it from happening. Let's see how this plays out.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

and to think that we get poor services from the council. we would have enjoyed a serious rally if ncc was a listed co. btw mr mwagira's lawyer says the suit was not representative and therefore he is the only one allowed to pay sh250. hao wengine ni sh300.

If you have one, you are already in a binding contract with the council. They can't unilaterally change the terms of the contract. But the again our council is ran by dim wits!!!

That's what the said. Wait until you hear their definition of 'CBD'!

Remember the increase from 70 to 140 was to affect only 'the CBD' and even the you could still pay '70 for half day'. We all know how that went!

I hope someone goes to court! We had an inhouse lawyer. Where did he go? I'm willing to contribute toward a class act law suit!!!

we all thought Kisia was the panacea to the citys problems, having come from the private sector. is he a victim of Peters principle?
Increasing parking fees to decongest the CBD Is similar to increasing cost of panadol in order to reduce the number of people suffering from headaches.

I agree that this is ill-timed(should have at least waited for the matatu regulation to be in place), however, I don't agree that it's a misplaced strategy. Increasing of parking fees encourages use of alternative means of transport

Its a form of equilibrium. When other sectors (read mobile industry) are lowering their rates, others (read transport) are increasing theirs. Thereby maintaining equilibrium.

I hear High court has suspended the sh250 Nbi parking fee until the case challenging the increase is heard and determined.

A temporary reprieve for motorists?
