Sonko hands over functions of the Nairobi County Government have been handed to the National Government.

This has been done under Article 187 of the Constitution below.

A function or power of government at one level may be transferred to a government at the other level by agreement between the governments if;

(a) The function or power would be more effectively performed or exercised by the receiving government; and

(b) The transfer of the function or power is not prohibited by the legislation under which it is to be performed or exercised.

(2) If a function or power is transferred from a government at one level to a government at the other level;

(a) Arrangements shall be put in place to ensure that the resources necessary for the performance of the function or exercise of the power are transferred; and

(b) Constitutional responsibility for the performance of the function or exercise of the power shall remain with the government to which it is assigned by the Fourth Schedule.

What are the implications?

Will be interesting to see how they go about this legal issue. Sonko should not be transacting for the county

Also, such a decision can be reached without county assembly approval?

What will be the work of kanjoras now

Good move. The US govt has its home in Washington DC, the federal capital. Australian govt has a home in Canberra, the federal capital. SA govt has a home in Pretoria, the federal capital. The Kenya govt also needed a home it could own and control, not being a squatter in a county called Nairobi. Now the Kenya govt can develop nairobi to be a world class city that the kenya govt can be proud of as the seat of govt and to reflect kenya as the largest economy in the region.

Wacha niulize swali ya ujinga. Is Nairobi still a county ama it has ceased to exist?
