By COLLINS OMULOMore by this AuthorNairobi Governor Mike Sonko has renewed his threats to pull out of a deal transferring some county functions to the national government. It has emerged that City Hall is yet to provide to the Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) crucial information necessary in aiding the State takeover of four functions, almost a month after the Deed of Transfer of functions took effect. However, Sonko has said his administration will not provide the needed documents, accusing the national government of constantly breaching the terms of transfer. WORK STALLEDThe national government, in a letter by National Treasury Internal Auditor-General Joseph Welimo, said the delay in submission of the documents has stalled the work progress of the transferred functions. The Deed of Transfer agreement saw county functions of health, transport, public works, planning and management and ancillary services transferred to the national government.
