Kajiado Municipality is at a distinguished location sited along the Nairobi – Namanga Highway. It was established in June 2018 through the bestowal of a Municipal Charter granted by H.E. Joseph Ole Lenku, the Governor County Government of Kajiado, through which it defines and derives its powers, objectives, and functions. The charter delineates the authority’s composition, functions, and tenure, particularly emphasizing the Municipal Board’s role.

Kajiado Municipality houses the County headquarters. It is a distinct Municipality granted status under special consideration. Its elevation to Municipal status was by virtue of it being the county headquarters as described under the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011. With a restrictive population and a development footprint complimented by a rich hinterland, the town offers ample opportunities for sustainable growth.
