    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I oppose. I am sure that many of other elected leaders in Nairobi will agree with me that we have had total confusion with the way the City is being managed. As we all agree, this is the Capital City. When the Governor went and signed an agreement with the Executive to transfer some functions of the county government to the national Government, it was because he had reached a point where he accepted he could not manage Nairobi County affairs effectively. The county was bleeding and requiring leadership. He transferred various functions to the national Government, and now we have the Nairobi Metropolitan Services Improvement Project. The leadership of Nairobi met with Maj-Gen. Badi discuss how we can move ahead so that we can, as elected leaders of Nairobi, work together in ensuring that service delivery does not suffer. You cannot transfer functions without money. We cannot expect those functions to be done without money. Money is absolutely necessary for the county to perform its standard functions. Right now, Nairobi is an epicentre and we can see governors without issues. For example, we can see what the governor of Mombasa Joho is doing."
