Sakaja Rolls Out New System for All County Vehicles

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

The system unveiled on June 16 combines software, hardware, and telematics technology to give authorized officers full visibility of every county vehicle at any given moment.

This means that county officials can now log into the platform and instantly establish a vehicle's exact location, the task it is performing, and whether it is operating within its designated area.

“Nairobi City County is embracing smart technology to transform the management of its vehicle fleet, a move expected to improve service delivery, strengthen accountability, and reduce operational costs across County departments,” stated the county.

📌 What You Need to Know

The county is currently overseeing the installation of the system at the Nairobi City County Central Garage, located in the Industrial Area, as part of a broader modernization drive.

Meanwhile, only 360 vehicles have been successfully fitted with the technology, with another 62 vehicles and 10 motorcycles still awaiting installation.

On the other hand, grounded vehicles are not yet included in those figures but will be incorporated into the system once they return to active operation.

Beyond location tracking, the system monitors fuel consumption on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, giving fleet managers clear data to help cut costs and improve efficiency.

It also generates automatic maintenance alerts, notifying both managers and drivers when a vehicle is due for servicing, repairs, tire replacement, or any routine upkeep as confirmed by Mechanical Engineer Joseph Kangethe, who is overseeing the installation.

“The system allows us to track vehicles and equipment in real time. At any given moment, authorized officers can log into the platform and establish the exact location of a vehicle, the task it is undertaking, and whether it is operating within its designated area,” said Kangethe.
