I must say on record that in that Committee because I work diligently and I remember clearly if you read the taskforce report, you will find that the transfer of functions under Article 187, we only gave it two paragraphs.

In fact, it was presupposed that the functions would be moving from the national Government to county ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: When it comes to the case of transport services, it will involve: county roads, street lighting, traffic and parking, public roads transport, ferries and harbours. In this case, ferries are not under Nairobi City County Government. view

• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: The fourth function that is purported to be transferred is county public works, utilities and ancillary services. It extends to storm water management systems in buildup areas and water sanitation services. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: The specifics of each of these functions illustrates the full extent and magnitude of the purported transfer of the functions of Nairobi City County Government.

• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: This is a complete claw back on the principle of public participation that is so dearly held by Kenyans at large. Even more worrying is the total lack of observance of Section 29 of the Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012, which specifically provides for public participation in the process of transfer of functions or powers from one level of government to the other.
