Sakaja to do away with Uhuru-era Sh250m Green Park terminus
Nairobi Governor Johnson Arthur Sakaja (inset) had commissioned the Green Park terminal (pictured) on December 1, 2022. He said efforts to get long-distance matatus to operate from the terminus had failed.
Sakaja's announcement comes after a failed attempt to force long-distance matatus to use the terminus.
The bus terminal, which was commissioned by former President Uhuru Kenyatta, has a number of facilities including a Level 2 hospital, a police station and a restaurant.
The Sh250 million Green Park Terminus built by the defunct Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) is to be flattened and the land "transformed into a world-class conference centre".
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja said in an interview on Citizen TV that efforts to get the long-distance matatus to operate from the terminus had failed.
