Nairobi MCAs Want NMS To Takeover Stalled Projects
Aug 4, 2020
Nairobi MCAs have accused the county government of not handing over some of the development projects under the transferred functions, saying protracted wrangles between Governor Mike Sonko and NMS director-general Mohamed Badi have hindered the completion of the projects.
The MCAs now wants the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) to take over stalled county projects under the transport, health, planning and housing dockets.
A motion by Clay City Ward MCA Samora Mwaura, called on the NMS to directly engage the contractors implementing the stalled projects.
Mwaura said it was a prerogative of Badi’s office to get all the necessary documentation from the contractors on all capital projects under the transferred functions with a view to ensuring the contractors complete the projects quickly and avoid stalling.
“The best example is that of my ward where there is a road project which is 75 per cent done. It was advertised and the contractor bid competitively, but it has stalled because of one signature,” Mwaura said.
Ziwani/Kariokor MCA Millicent Mugadi said the management of projects by the NMS will translate to quality services.
“We know that NMS has money and will save contractors a lot of stress from coming to get their money. They will run up and down knowing very well when they finish the work they will be paid by NMS,” Mugadi said.
