What you need to know:

  • 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.
