Quote:Sonko said that in order to address the unique needs of Nairobi, his government set out a fact finding mission.
Sonko says that they benchmarked and took lessons from other jurisdictions across the world including Washington DC in the US and Abuja in Nigeria.
"We established that cities and metropolis, the size of Nairobi, are best served jointly by devolved units and Central Governments," he said.
"I initiated discussions with the National Government with a view of finding a sustainable approach to service delivery that leverages both on the County and National resources and competencies."He said.
Sonko said the agreement signed will not only help enhance service delivery in the city but will also reposition Nairobi as the economic hub of the region.
"...my government will ensure that Nairobi regains its famed status as the “Green City in the Sun” among other targets that we have set for ourselves," he said.
