Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero was Thursday morning bashed on social media moments after sharing pictures of numerous car clamps meant to tame parking fee defaulters.
Kidero warned motorists through his social media accounts that his government was going for those fond of double-parking and dodging parking fees.
Nairobi budget estimates indicate that the county expects to collect Sh12.6 Billion from land rates, parking fees and single business permits.
The Governor's warning angered Nairobi residents who bashed Kidero for not setting his priorities right.
A majority condemned him for not tackling serious issues such as garbage, bad roads and lack of water in some estates within the city.
Here are some of the reactions;
Leo ni Leo. if you have not paid for parking or is fond of double parking...We are coming for you.Use *217# to pay pic.twitter.com/CiV0d5gdlE
