Nairobi County leaders have demanded transparency from Governor Johnson Sakaja's administration over the use of disaster management funds.

Embakasi North MP James Gakuya and Nairobi Assembly Deputy Minority Leader Waithera Chege questioned why victims of disasters such as fire incidents rarely receive timely assistance despite the county's substantial budget allocations.
