The Senate is investigating the sacking of 700 Nairobi County employees who were hired by the defunct Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS).

Senate's Labour and Social Welfare Committee is seeking to know the status of employment of the 700 inspectorate officers, whose fate hangs in the balance following a resolution by the Nairobi County Assembly to fire them.
