Nairobi Metropolitan Services Director General Mohammed Badi will this Friday 29th September 2022, officially handover all transferred functions back to the Nairobi County Government.
According to the Nairobi County Director of Public Communication Beryl Okundi says Badi will handover the functions as per the deed of transfer to Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, at City Hall Nairobi.
In his inauguration as Nairobi Governor, Badi lauded the election of Sakaja as the new county boss adding that during his mandate as the county senator, Sakaja weighed in heavily to the success of the county.
Badi mentioned that Sakaja will scale the county higher as per what he believes the then legislators did for the county.
According to the notice by Nairobi County Secretary Jairus Musumba, there will also be a three-month handover period to ensure continuous service delivery.
As a result, an assumption of office of the Governor will form a committee to oversee the transition.
Through Executive Order No. 3 of 2020, the functions included county health services, transport, public works, utilities and ancillary services, and county planning and development.
The signing of the Deed of Transfer left City Hall in control of less influential departments such as ICT and E-Government, Education and Sports, Agriculture and Livestock, Trade and Co-operatives and Devolution, Environment and Finance sectors.
President Uhuru Kenyatta on March 17, 2021, established the NMS and appointed Mohammed Badi as its Director General.
