    "content": "transferred functions will be disbursed directly to the county government. This is because it might be difficult for the Governor to transfer this money for the needs of Nairobi Metropolitan Services. In this case, if we cannot make a decision on how these monies will be directed, we cannot leave this issue without ensuring that this House takes a position and ensures these monies are protected. We do not want to have drama after disbursement. So, for purposes of discharge of services in Nairobi, I believe the right direction is to ensure we get a formula on how these monies will go directly to Nairobi Metropolitan Services without necessarily seeing the light of day through Nairobi County. I believe this is the only way through which Nairobians will receive the services they need. When Sonko decided to surrender these services, it is true he must have evaluated himself and found he was a failure to tackle the problems of Nairobi. That is why he took a direction of handing over these particular functions. At this particular time and moment, we cannot allow the same Governor to be a road block towards the same functions he surrendered. Therefore, I stand to oppose and ask Parliament to take a stand on the way forward."
