Parking fees will go up to 300 bob up from current 140 for saloon cars w.e.f 01-11.2010.Also housing rent for Kanjo houses will rise by 500 to ksh 3,000 bob.What does this translate to your pocket earnings wazuans

So that means the daily average cost of getting to work will be

Petrol - 500bob
parking - 300bob

That's 800bob a day or Ksh 16000 per month or about 200,000 per yr. Enough to buy a plot of land!

May have to switch to matatus and save 600bob per day....or 12,000 a month or about 150,000 per yr.

For those motorists who get into town through Mombasa road, there is a parking lot just at the junction of Haile Selassie and Mombasa Rd at the Kenol petrol station (next to Neno church) and they charge like 100/- per day parking.

Would be convenient for those working around Times Towers and Harambee avenue to park there and just cross the street instead of paying kanjo 300/- with no security guarantee. Plus jioni one would avoid traffic in town as you would just join Msa Rd and head home. Am sure there are other such convenient private parkings on that major arteries into town too. Heard some people park even at Nakumatt Mega

My two cents

The immediate benefit will be reduced traffic in the CBD. Chances are that matatu fairs will go up gradually due to increased demand.

The best real estate investment to make in CBD is a parking lot...

Court throws out petition 300/- will now be effected. If you cant afford 300/- daily then bado haujafika stop filling our roads/parking spaces mpishe mwenye nguvu
