More changes are expected in the capital as a new multi-sectoral urban planning technical committee was constituted to handle building plans and approvals in Nairobi County. In May 2020, NMS commenced administering the e-construction development control system for processing approvals of development applications. That notice disbanded the Nairobi City County Pre-Technical Committee and the Nairobi City County Urban Planning Technical Committee. Building approvals in Nairobi had stalled for close to eight months after fifteen members of the technical team were suspended by Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko. The association further faulted the delays on the suspensions of City Hall's technical planning committee and e-permit downtime in the second half of 2019.
