Acting Nairobi Governor Benson Mutura when he was sworn in at the KICC Grounds on December 21, 2020.
Nairobi’s acting Governor Benson Mutura started his job at City Hall by unlocking the stalled budget approval that had jammed operations of Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS).
Immediately after his swearing-in, Mutura signed the governor’s warrant that in effect gave The Treasury the greenlight to release Sh37.5 billion to the county, paving the way for the implementation of the 2020/2021 budget.
As he took the instruments of power, his predecessor Mike Sonko was distributing foodstuff to city residents.
