A ward representative wants the county government and the Nairobi Metropolitan Services to come up with a transfer of staff guideline for seamless delivery of service to city residents. Wasilwa declared the Deed of Transfer of Functions executed between the National Government and Nairobi County Government irregular and gave the government 90 days to rectify the illegality. Ogeto is urging the County Executive and the NMS to develop guidelines on the secondment and/or deployment of officers from the City Hall to the NMS. He maintained: “As it stands, the responsibility still remains with the Nairobi County Public Service Board to notify its employees of the purported secondment. Under the Deed of Transfer, City Hall handed over the health, transport, planning and development, public works and utilities functions to the National Government.
