Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has until Thursday this week to append his signature to the Nairobi City County Supplementary Appropriations Bill, 2020. The Bill was passed by the County Assembly of Nairobi on April 2, 2020, and saw the newly-formed Nairobi Metropolitan Service allocated around Sh15 billion for the transferred functions. By law, Sonko is mandated to sign the bill in order to give the Nairobi Metropolitan Service powers to access the funds. In line with the provisions of Article 187 of the Constitution, the County budget therefore had to be adjusted. As a result of the reduction, the new Nairobi Metropolitan Service headed by Director General Mohammed Badi was allocated Sh15 billion for the transferred functions.
