CONTRACT WITH NAIROBI
A Binding Pledge to Restore Nairobi's Promise
James Mwangi Gakuya for Governor 2027
8 Governance Reforms • 10 Major Policy Acts • 100% Accountability
Why Nairobi Needs This Contract
In 1994, the Contract with America helped transform American politics by presenting voters with clear, specific, and measurable commitments. That same spirit of accountability drives this Contract with Nairobi.
Nairobi faces unprecedented challenges: crumbling infrastructure, rising costs, widespread corruption, and limited opportunities for our youth. These are not just statistics - they affect every Nairobian every single day.
This is not a collection of empty promises. This is a binding pledge - a contract between me and you, the people of Nairobi. Every commitment is specific, measurable, and will be tracked publicly.
Our Vision for Transformation
A Nairobi where every resident has access to clean water, quality healthcare, and economic opportunity. Where our youth are empowered, our infrastructure works, and our government serves with transparency and integrity. Where accountability is not just promised, but delivered.
Eight Governance Reforms
On my first day in office, I will implement these eight fundamental reforms to restore transparency, accountability, and efficiency to Nairobi County government.
The Transparency Act
Establish independent anti-corruption commission for county with prosecutorial powers
The Open Budget Initiative
Launch real-time public budget tracking dashboard accessible to all citizens
The Efficiency Act
Reduce county assembly operational expenditure by 30% and redirect to service delivery
The Open Procurement Act
Make all county tenders, contracts, and awards publicly accessible online
The Citizen Voice System

The Town Hall Commitment

The Ghost Worker Elimination Act

These reforms will be legally binding and implemented within the first 24 hours of taking office.
Ten Major Policy Acts
Within 100 days of taking office, these comprehensive policy initiatives will be fully implemented with specific, measurable targets.
