Nairobi County MCAs allocated Ksh 264 million for car grants in the 2020/21 supplementary budget tabled before the County Assembly on Thursday, February 18.
The lawmakers said that they were following the presidential pronouncement where President Kenyatta announced MCAs will get a Ksh 2 million car grant in what was seen as an incentive to pass the BBI initiative.
The amount was included in the Ksh 2 billion Nairobi County budget proposal with Ksh 1.4 billion going to recurrent expenditure and Ksh 600 million for development. In the supplementary budget, Ksh 171 million was set aside for clearing pending bills as a result of suspended payments.

Nyandarua Speaker Wahome Ndegwa
The Nakuru High Court has temporarily stopped the removal of Wahome Ndegwa as Speaker of the County Assembly of Nyandarua.
Justice Hillary Chemitei extended Justice Joel Ngugi’s orders of January 26 that stayed Wahome’s impeachment, noting that Ngugi had issued extensive orders over the same matter.
The file was placed before Chemitei yesterday as Ngugi was away.
“It is necessary to maintain the status quo in regards to orders of January 26. Justice Ngugi’s orders must be followed through unless the court is persuaded otherwise,” ruled Chemitei.
