Nakuru’s long journey to the top reached a historic peak as the Kenyan Senate voted overwhelmingly (38 to 2) to elevate the town to city status. This landmark decision made Nakuru the first urban centre to be promoted under the 2010 Constitution, joining the elite ranks of Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu.

This transition opened a new chapter of increased infrastructure investment and global interest, officially transforming the “cleanest town in East Africa” into Kenya’s vibrant fourth city.
