The Act — Nairobi City County Supplementary Appropriations Act, 2020 — had been gazetted into an Act on April 27, 2020, despite the governor twice declining to assent to it. However, Government Printer Mwenda Njoka, in a gazette notice dated May 11, 2020, revoked the contentious Act, halting the transfer of the funds to NMS. 2 (Nairobi City County Act No. 1) dated April 27, 2020, which published the purported Nairobi City County Supplementary Appropriations Act, 2020,” he said despite calls by Nairobi assembly leadership for him not to do so. This was after Mr Sonko had written to him to direct the government printer to nullify the Act, arguing that it had contravened of the law.
