For NCC to build a sustainable city it needs to get money to support it from taxes or funds that we pay.
How to increase that fund is the job the New Director General should work on.
1. Work on increasing paid parking slots not only in the CBD but the whole county. This will be done by NCC taking back all grabbed plots and sections that are reserve for NCC, grade the sections for and build paid parking slots. Take for instance the empty spaces on Jogoo road where over 5000 parking lots can be built to generate cash required even to pay the cleaners
2. Demolish and re-build NCC houses that are old and take much of the space to modern 10 floor flats.
3. Register all businesses and locations to enable them get what is due than have corrupt officials collect chess and pocket it for their own benefits
4. Change the NCC cash office to a bank so that individuals registered with NCC have their accounts and can deposit money directly thereby getting sms reports on their mobiles.
5. Employ staff dedicated to their jobs from cleaning the street to highest offices. I walked in Dubai and saw Indians cleaning the roads and streets throughout which never happens in Nairobi reason it is dirty.
6. Make full changes to inspectorate department. Corruption starts here.
7. Kill hawking in the city in areas not allowed even those selling magazines, books, newspapers, they ought to open kiosks either from NCC or otherwise- Dropping into offices to be allowed.
8. Create accountability and responsibility to Nairobians. Charge those dumping. What happen to Dubai is your ID is taken by authority and you have to get it only after depositing the amount charged and getting a receipt. Second offenders get the mount staggered to make different amount in different ares to make it a bother to learn a lesson. The ID cannot be registered as lost since it immediately becomes registered in govt systems with reason at a click of mouse.
9. Review contracts and follow up who has contracts and why, how and when they end/renenewd
Let us watch what Badi will do.
