Nairobi to launch 3 new fire stations
Wednesday February 03 2021
By COLLINS OMULO
Summary
The three fire stations – Kangundo Road, Waithaka and Ruaraka fire stations – were completed over a year ago but their commissioning had stalled.
The construction of the three fire stations began in April, 2018 and were to be launched in September, 2019 but that has never been the case.
City Hall is set to launch three newly-constructed fire stations before May in a bid to enhance its response to disasters and emergencies in the capital.

The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) will no longer store maize and other grains for redistribution to Kenyans in need of relief food.
This follows a change of strategy to concentrate on its core mandate.
NCPB will instead be a major player in the warehousing industry, competing with private sector players owing to its huge storage facilities strategically located in key grain baskets across the country.
NCPB could, however, be ragged by the bureaucracy that characterises State-owned entities as well as loopholes that have in the past made it a soft target for graft through which large sums of money has been lost.
