The amended BBI bill will kill off Nairobi Metropolitan Services and Nairobi County will recover all its functions in 2022. This is unfortunate because there is general agreement that NMS has been doing a very good job since it took over the Roads, Transport, Health and Disaster functions of Nairobi County. Then the final published BBI Bill in November stated that the NMS would be replaced by Nairobi county from 2022. Certainly, President Kenyatta was a big supporter of the NMS although Senator Johnson Sakajja later tweeted that Nairobi county needed to remain autonomous as part of devolution. Tinkering with the BBI Bill is still going on.
