PRESS STATEMENT

Functions of Nairobi County Government handed over to the National Government pursuant to Article 187 of the Constitution

In a land mark agreement signed at State House today, Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko and Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa in concurrence with H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta, signed an agreement, handing over functions of the Nairobi County Government to the National Government, pursuant to Article 187 of the Constitution.

The signing of the agreement was also witnessed by the Speaker of the Senate, Hon. Kenneth Lusaka and the Attorney General Paul Kihara.

The National Government therefore, will take over the following functions of the Nairobi County Government:

i) County Health services
ii) County Transport services
iii) County Public Works, Utilities and Ancillary services
iv) County Government Planning and Development

This will ensure Nairobi residents receive services efficiently.

The move comes as a breakthrough in the running of county services that had ground to a halt.

Interesting.
So does the impeachment go on?
Is he still a governor or what is he now?
Will his corruption cases still proceed or what happens to them?
Questions galore, this is uncharted territory for the country.

He is still going to operate from Mua Hills, but what exactly will be his role?

The charges of fraud have been bought off, dearly, and BBI has a new foot soldier.

Waiting for the DPP, to say Sonko can't do any business on behalf of 047.
My guess though, all this has everything to do with the Northland City.
 
All counties should be taken over by national government. Let the county head be a CEO appointed by the president. Hii mambo ya governor hufaa kuwa headed by someone who is corrupt free like me.
