Nairobi County governor has unveiled the Sakaja’s Unified Business Permit that allows businesses to have a single permit that covers all sectors of that business instead of owning multiple permits.
In a move that he termed as a new ywar gift to Nairobi Business Community, the Sakaja’s Unified Business Permit will cover the business, fire, food, health, and advertising licenses into one and will be accessed online via the county’s NairobiPay Revenue service.
According to the governor, the UBP is part of the fulfillment of his campaign promises he made to Nairobi traders to ensure better service delivery and streamline the process of acquiring permits by entrepreneurs in Nairobi County.

“We continue to make Nairobi Work, and I am glad that the UBP has now been activated as part of a deliberate effort to improve the ease of doing business parameters in this city. This electronic solution eliminates the issuance of multiple business permits in various service points, which has also been a key revenue leakage risk.”
Sakaja also said that the Unified Business Permit will not only ease the number of business permits and boost service delivery, it will also help the county achieve its revenue collection target of Ksh. 20Billion.
“With the activation of the UBP issuance on the NairobiPay portal, the county government is now on course to generate and reach its target of Ksh.20 billion in Own Source Revenues to fund development projects in the city.”
