Nairobi takeover: Sonko insists deal will end over 'frustrations'
Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s Spokesperson Ben Mulwa addresses the media in Nairobi on April 30, 2020 regarding hurdles in implementation of the Nairobi takeover deal with the national government.
Sonko claims the process has been hijacked by unnamed State officials hell-bent on frustrating and embarrassing him as well as ruining his relationship with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He said his earlier position of instituting the termination process stands if the Deed of Transfer of Functions is not executed in line with the law.
Last week, the governor threatened to withdraw from the agreement between City Hall and the national government, citing frustrations in the implementation of the deal.
Mr Mulwa also said the governor will not be providing any more documents pertaining to the transfer deed.
Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has maintained his push to terminate a city takeover deal with the national government, saying he will not allow the process to continue “if things remain as they are”.
The governor, through his spokesperson Ben Mulwa, said the process has been hijacked by unnamed State officials hell-bent on frustrating and embarrassing him as well as ruining his relationship with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
