Parking payment methods for Githurai drivers include the USSD code *647#, the Nairobi Pay web portal (nairobiservices.go.ke), the Nairobi Pay mobile app, and cash at authorised off‑street exits.
The same options apply in Kasarani, Kahawa West, and Ruiru, so you never have to relearn the system on short errands.
Nairobi City County’s NRB_Revenue platform links every payment to your licence plate, keeping wardens fully updated.
