The directive by the director-general was just a continuation of similar orders by the county for building owners to repaint their premises. Nonetheless, the county government appears to be preaching water but drinking wine: County government-owned properties are crying out for paint, having gone for years without seeing a coat of paint, some since they were constructed. The Public Health Cap 242 and County By-laws require property owners within the city to repaint their buildings every two years.
