NAIROBI, Kenya — The Office of the Attorney General has formally disclosed receipt of a privately initiated proposal to develop a new Justice Centre in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework.
In a public disclosure notice dated May 2026, the Attorney General’s office said the proposal was submitted by Linzi FinCo LLP on January 21, 2026, in accordance with the Public-Private Partnerships Act, 2021.
The proposed project seeks to establish a centralized office complex for the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Justice through a Design-Build-Finance-Lease-and-Transfer (DBFLT) model.
According to the notice, the planned development will be located in Upper Hill between Bishop Road and Ralph Bunche Road and is intended to consolidate currently fragmented operations within the Attorney General’s office and improve service delivery.
The proposed Justice Centre will include executive and leadership offices for the Attorney General, Solicitor General, and Principal Secretary, alongside legal and litigation departments, mediation facilities, legal research rooms, and client consultation spaces.
Other planned facilities include registries and archives for records management, conference and training rooms, public reception and legal aid areas, staff welfare facilities, parking infrastructure, and integrated security systems including CCTV and server rooms.
“The development is proposed to include office space, public service areas, parking infrastructure, and associated facilities to consolidate currently fragmented operations and enhance service delivery,” the notice states.
The Attorney General’s office said the project aligns with broader national policy objectives aimed at modernising public sector service delivery and strengthening institutional efficiency within the justice sector.
The disclosure was issued pursuant to a National Treasury circular on the public disclosure of Privately Initiated Proposals (PIPs), which requires contracting authorities to notify the public upon receipt of major PPP proposals.
Under Kenya’s PPP framework, privately initiated projects are subjected to technical, legal, and financial evaluation before approval. The process also includes stakeholder consultations and public participation.
The notice identifies several stakeholders expected to participate in the review process, including the National Treasury, Nairobi City County Government, National Environment Management Authority, and other regulatory agencies.
The proposal will also require compliance with laws governing environmental management, public finance, occupational safety, and urban planning.
Officials said the public disclosure does not amount to final approval of the project, which remains subject to regulatory review under the applicable legal framework.
The initiative comes as the government increasingly turns to PPP arrangements to finance large-scale public infrastructure projects amid growing fiscal pressures and rising demand for modern public service facilities.
