Nairobi City returned to normalcy on Monday morning after the long weekend that saw the Global Entrepreneurship Summit bring the town to a halt.
This, however, does not mean that the hub of activity witnessed in the beautification of the city will stop.
The county government has said the beautification process is a long term initiative that will continue, despite the departure of Obama.
The Environment County executive Evans Ondieki told Capital FM that some of the work had been slated for September, October, and November but was brought forward because of the summit.
He said the beatification will continue, in a bid to attract more tourists to the city.
Nation Fm reports that youth and women who had worked on the beautification, reported to City hall early in the morning, not sure if they still had jobs.
The preparations for the arrival of US President Barrack Obama hit headlines over the past week.
Most notably was the beautification of the city that had Kenyans on social media asking why it was not done earlier.
Kenyans on twitter found the grass planted along the CBD-allegedly meant to grow within three days- humorous, taking a swipe at Nairobi Governor for the poor planning using the hast tag #KideroGrass.

The beautification was also criticized by many who felt it wrong for the county government to spruce up the city only because Obama was coming into the country.
Appearing on an interview on NTV Wednesday last week, Kidero said the Sh185m City beautification was in no way connected to Obama’s visit.
Ondieki now says the beautification process will continue to be undertaken on all major highways and open spaces.
