According to the attendants there the new parking lot will operate for 24 hours targeting the trucks and buses at night.
The attendant added that trustees had struck a deal with bus owners to take motorists to the city centre from the parking bay.
The facility is enclosed in a perimeter wall located on Kirinyaga Road with 700 parking lots for small vehicles and a space for 100 buses, trucks and lorries, which will mainly park at night.
