Nairobi News: Latest Updates on Kenya's Capital City

When you think of Nairobi, the vibrant, fast-growing capital of Kenya and a major economic hub in East Africa. Also known as the Green City in the Sun, it’s where politics, business, and culture collide in a way no other African city quite matches. Nairobi isn’t just a city—it’s a pulse. It’s where the Kenyan government makes decisions that ripple across the region, where startups buzz in Kibera and Westlands, and where traffic jams on Ngong Road are as much a part of daily life as the morning chai.

What happens in Nairobi doesn’t stay in Nairobi. Its airport connects the continent to the world, its universities train the next generation of leaders, and its streets have seen everything from protests to peace talks. The city’s growth is raw and real—new high-rises rise beside informal settlements, and the push for better public transport is constant. You’ll find stories here about Kenya’s KNEC, the national education body that oversees school exams like KCSE and how Nairobi’s schools are adapting to online registration. You’ll see how Kenya Meteorology, the agency that tracks rainfall and climate patterns across the country warns of floods that hit Nairobi’s low-lying neighborhoods hardest. Even global events like the World Health Organization, the UN agency pushing for mental health as a universal right have a local echo here, as Nairobi’s clinics struggle to keep up with demand.

What you’ll find in this collection isn’t just headlines about Nairobi—it’s the human side of the city. Stories about how traffic affects daily commutes, how young entrepreneurs are turning Nairobi’s chaos into opportunity, and how regional conflicts in neighboring countries spill over into its borders. You’ll see how Nairobi’s role in East Africa shapes everything from trade to sports to diplomacy. This isn’t a tourist guide. This is the real Nairobi—messy, loud, alive, and always moving.
