By COLLINS OMULOMore by this AuthorNairobi Governor Mike Sonko has declined to assent to a bill allocating more than Sh15 billion to the newly established Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) for transferred functions, escalating the push and pull between the two entities. Governor Sonko referred Nairobi County Supplementary Appropriation Bill, 2020 back to the assembly, saying amendments in it contravened provisions of the law. The bill was to become law on Thursday but Sonko's move sends the NMS and the assembly back to the drawing board. He cited security and safety management; disaster management coordination; information and communication services; public financial management; and economic and financial policy formulation and management. Others were public service transformation; general administrative services; food systems and surveillance, afforestation and animal health, safety and quality assurance.
