The High Court has declared the Deed of Transfer of Functions executed between the National Government and Nairobi City County Government as vague and irregular. Justice Hellen Wasilwa ruled that the deal signed at State House in February this year, was not approved by the County Assembly therefore making it unlawful. The court further declared the transfer of 6,000 county employees and secondment of CEOs to the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) as irregular and illegal since the Governor of Nairobi, Mike Sonko was not consulted. She has therefore given the government 90 days to rectify the illegality failure to which any party will be at liberty to move the court for appropriate action. The case had been filed by activist Okiya Omtata. Omtatah moved to court seeking to reverse the transfers until such a time when proper mechanisms and procedures are put in place for the safety of the workers.
