Administration
Vast parts of the Dagoretti area fall within Nairobi County's administration. Parts of the area, among them the Dagoretti slaughterhouse, fall in the Kiambu side of the border under the defunct Kikuyu Municipality area. The area under what was the Dagoretti Constituency was originally part of the defunct County Council of Kiambu but was moved into the then Nairobi City Commission's administration in the 1970s as part of efforts to expand the city area. To-date, the freehold title deeds possessed by land owners in the area are labelled as belonging to Kiambu.
