Nairobi County MCAs are pushing for a Sh1.5 billion general-purpose account to specifically manage funds allocated for ward development projects.
The MCAs argue this is the only way to cure the slow implementation of projects by the executive in wards.
They want the general-purpose account to hold funds allocated to the 85 wards in the 2021/22 financial year.
Nairobi County Assembly Budget and Appropriations committee chairperson Robert Mbatia said if implemented, the funds will be transferred from the County Revenue Fund account to the general-purpose account.
He said if MCAs fail to utilise the funds because of unforeseen circumstances then the funds will remain in the account and be carried forward to the next financial year.
