With the inauguration of a new governor, Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) will hand over all of its operations, programs, and powers to the Nairobi County Government after two years in control.
NMS Director-General Major General Mohamed Badi indicated that the transition to the new Nairobi Governor, Johnson Sakaja, will begin next Monday.
“I am happy to report that NMS has accomplished all the tasks given to do within the two years,” said Maj Gen Badi during Sakaja’s swearing-in ceremony at KICC grounds, Nairobi.
“Any extra tasks that we have taken onboard, which are ongoing projects, I will be more than happy to hand over. We will start the process of handing over from next week.”
Badi, while congratulating the new governor pledged to work with him.
“As we wind up as NMS, I would like to personally and on behalf of NMS, pledge our support to the governor, we will always be available to work with you to make Nairobi great again,” he said.
NMS took over control of Nairobi County in March 2020 after Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko signed over the deed of transfer to the National government which appointed Badi and his team to run the Capital.
NMS took over Health, Transport, Public works and Planning and Development Services to the National Government.
