Nairobi City County is one of the 47 counties of Kenya. The third smallest yet the most populous of the counties; it also serves as the capital city of Kenya. “Nairobi” comes from a Maasai phrase ‘Enkare Nyrobi’, which means “cool water”.
Nairobi City County was founded after 2010 on the same boundaries as the then province of Nairobi; Kenya's eight provinces were sub-divided into forty seven Counties of Kenya by the Constitution of Kenya, based on the forty seven districts that were established prior to the year 1992.
On 25 August 2022 after the general elections in Kenya, Johnson Sakaja was sworn-in as the fourth Governor of Nairobi County.[1]
