Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on Thursday rejected a Sh37.1 billion budget and sent a memorandum to the county assembly with seven reasons why he could not assent to the Bill.
In the budget approved last week, the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) had been allocated Sh27.1 billion to run the transferred functions — health, transport, public works and planning — while Sonko was left with only Sh10.4 billion out of which Sh2 billion had been allocated to the county assembly.
