Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) has come out to clear the air over the expenditure of millions of shillings donated to fight Covid-19 pandemic. This comes after the Nairobi County Assembly put the government entity on the spot over the utilisation of the funds. The Major General Mohamed Badi-led administration received Sh294 million from the national government towards response to Covid-19 control. NMS also spent Sh10 million on public health interventions, including waste disposal, mortuary services, fumigation, and health promotion. Mbagathi Hospital had two ventilators procured by NMS using the Covid-19 funds with four at Pumwani Hospital donated by World Bank through the Ministry of Health.
