Kenya, 16 June 2026 - The Nairobi County Government is in the process of integrating a new Fleet Management System that will improve the management of county government vehicles.
In a statement on Tuesday, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja said that the system will enable real-time tracking of vehicles and equipment, monitor fuel consumption, and alert managers when maintenance is due.
According to the Governor, the system is being installed at the Nairobi City County Central Garage in the Industrial Area, with hundreds of vehicles already integrated into the platform.
Speaking during a follow-up exercise on the installation, Mechanical Engineer Joseph Kangethe confirmed that the county has installed the system in 360 vehicles, with another 62 vehicles and 10 motorcycles awaiting installation.
The system will also be incorporated on grounded vehicles once they resume operation.
“The system allows us to track vehicles and equipment in real time. At any given moment, authorised 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,” Kangethe said.

Apart from tracking vehicle movement, Kangethe said that the system will provide valuable data on fleet performance, helping managers make informed decisions on vehicle deployment, fuel usage, and maintenance schedules.
The system also generates maintenance alerts, notifying fleet managers and drivers when vehicles require servicing, repairs, tire replacement, or other routine maintenance.
“One of the major benefits is logistics management. We can monitor fuel consumption on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis and gain insights into the day-to-day running of the fleet. This helps us improve efficiency while keeping operational costs under control,” Kangethe said.
The county government is optimistic that once fully implemented, the system will provide complete visibility across Nairobi City County’s fleet, enabling faster deployment of vehicles, better resource planning, improved maintenance management, and greater accountability in the use of public assets.
