The plan was said to balance capital works with routine maintenance.\n\nSolid waste management interventions include measures to streamline door to door collection, enhance segregation at source and expand scientific processing, including pilot projects to test new technologies. The administration outlined proposals for upgrading collection fleets and investing in material recovery to reduce landfill dependence. The programme will seek to integrate informal waste workers within formal systems and promote public awareness campaigns to change disposal behaviour and provide training and secure livelihoods. Officials indicated monitoring mechanisms and timelines to track progress.\n\nRoads and transport related spending is designed to repair existing carriageways, strengthen drainage and improve connectivity across neighbourhoods. Attention is to be given to pedestrian safety, signalling and traffic management to reduce congestion and accidents and to support public transport efficiency. The budget emphasises routine upkeep alongside targeted resurfacing and strengthening of arterial routes to support mobility. Design and execution are to be aligned with city resilience objectives effectively.\n\nThe budget document outlines funding through internal mobilisation and prudent borrowing while aiming for fiscal discipline. Emphasis is placed on transparent procurement, timely project delivery and citizen engagement to ensure accountability.
