With the swearing-in of the capital city’s new governor, the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) will hand over all its functions, projects and powers back to the Nairobi County Government.
Moreover, while speaking during Nairobi Governor-elect Johnson Sakaja’s swearing-in ceremony at KICC grounds in Nairobi, NMS Director-General Major General Mohamed Badi announced that they will start the handing over process to the new governor beginning next week.
“I am happy to report that NMS has accomplished all the tasks given to do within the two years,” said Maj Gen Badi.
“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.” He added.
Likewise, while congratulating Sakaja, Badi, promised 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 stated.
Nonetheless, 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.
The government then appointed Badi and his team to run the Capital city.
Badi and his team took over Health, Transport, Public works and Planning and Development Services to the National Government.
Furthermore, in March this year, the acting Nairobi Governor Ann Kananu prolonged NMS contract by six months from February 25, 2022 to August 24, 2022.

In addition, the notice explained that there will be a handover period of three months upon the expiry of the NMS term,
“The parties herein shall within seven days of assumption of office of the Governor form a joint committee to oversee the handover process,” part of the contract read.
