    "content": "Despite various resolutions of the County Assembly urging the Governor to improve efficiencies by decentralizing the finance function to sectors as required by the provisions of Section 148 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, the county continues to operate in contravention of the law. (h)The Governor has violated the provisions of Article 5.5 of the Deed of Transfer of Functions, by his refusal to hand over the necessary documentation to enable the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to undertake optimal revenue collection under the transferred functions. (i)The Governor grossly violated Article 201 of the Constitution on the prudent use of financial resources and Section 159 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 as read together with Section 7 of the Nairobi City County Tax Waivers Administration Act, 2013 by unilaterally and arbitrarily issuing waivers in total disregard of the law. (j)The Governor has violated the provisions of Article 201(d ) of the Constitution on principles that guide all aspects of public finance in the Republic, and 227(1 ) on procurement of public goods and services, and the provisions of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2015 by willfully interfering in the award of the tender for the construction of the Dandora Stadium as established by the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board (PPRB), leading to loss of public funds in overseeing payments despite concerns by technical officers; (k)The Governor has violated the provisions of Article 201 of the Constitution and the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 on principles that guide all aspects of prudent use of public finance where either intentionally or negligently he presided over the massive loss and theft of county public funds in the three years he has been in office, as evidenced by the Auditor-General’s Report of 2018/2019, which raised the red flag over the city's stalled Kshs204.2 million projects, as well as failure by the county government to meet its revenue targets. (l)The Governor has violated the provisions of Article 5 of the Deed of Transfer of functions by sabotaging the transfer of functions. The Governor is yet to provide the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) with crucial information necessary in aiding the carrying out of the transferred functions."
