Nairobi Member of County Assemblies (MCAs) have threatened to send home ‘lazy’ officers from City Hall and the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS).
The threats come amid reports some Nairobi County Executive officers have failed to or delayed in implementing resolutions by MCAs as well as constantly failing to honour summons to appear before assembly committees to respond to statements raised by the county legislators.
TMS officers have also come under fire for delaying to submit timely and satisfactory reports to committees.
Nairobi County Assembly Liaison committee chairperson John Kamangu also accused Deputy Governor Ann Kananu’s officers of being “choosy” and only implementing committee recommendations only favourable to them.

Consequently, the tenants have said they will not attend a planned public participation forum on the project planned scheduled for Monday.
Last week, NMS called for views from tenants of county rental houses to be affected by the planned redevelopment of 10 old Nairobi County estates with public participation to begin Monday, February 8, 2021 at Joseph Kang’ethe Social Hall in Woodley.
However, the tenants through the Woodley Residents Welfare Society (WRWS), have said they will not attend the said public participation claiming NMS did not follow the correct procedure on public participation.
The tenants also allege that the Major General Mohamed Badi-led administration failed to take into account the adverse effects that the redevelopment would have on residents.
