 The Excellency, the Deputy Governor Mosheery, Minister of Devolution, the Atonic General, State House Controller, the Chairman of Public Service Commission, Chair IGTRC, the Representative of Commissioner General KRA, the County Secretary, Senior Government Officers, Senior County Officers, dignitaries, invited guests, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, I would start off by thanking God Almighty for giving us this chance to serve in Nairobi as enemies. At duty, we took over almost two and a half years ago, which we completed successfully. Second, my thanks goes to the National Government, both under the former President, Mwishimewa Urukenyata, and the current government under His Excellency Dr. Sammai William Ruto, for giving us the confidence and responsibility to achieve our task. Thirdly, which many people would not know, I would like to thank His Excellency the Governor. From the time we took over, he was the Senator of Nairobi. He helped us guide enemies to what we have achieved today. So my thanks to the Governor. It's truly an honor and delight to be part of this historic event for our great city of Nairobi. Looking back, it has been a rigorous and remarkable two years, culminating to this very moment as we officially hand over the transfer functions back to the county government. As you recall on 25th February 2020, Nairobi City County, by the need of transfer functions agreement, transferred four functions to the National Government. And these were county health services, county transport services, county public works, utility and auxiliary services, county physical planning, and development, and environment and energy. Arising from this transfer, NMS was established in 18th March 2020 as institutional framework to implement this deed of transfer. The deed was amended further to the deed of transfer dated 8th March 2022 that among other things extended the initial period from 24th to 24th August and provided a handover period of three months. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to report that NMS has performed its task quite well across the four transfer functions in accordance with county integrated development plan, resulting in tangible positive outcomes that many Nairobi citizens can attest to. Without further ado and not elaborate the task that we have done, it is well covered in the report but in the health sectors. Remember we were formed under COVID and we had a stretch to extend the health facilities, especially in informal settlement. And I'm happy to report that we finished the 20 hospitals, they are fully operational and running both level two and three facilities across all the marginalized areas and informal settlements. We have also facilitated the construction of additional ICU facilities at Mama Lucy Hospital, extra wards dedicated especially for COVID. We have also completed Mama Margaret Kenyatta Hospital that had been stolen for over three decades. Additionally, NMS with the support of national government and in collaboration with other state agencies oversaw the sinking of 193 boreholes in informal settlement that has eased the problem of water, especially in the marginalized and informal settlement. NMS has also acquired 29 water bowser that has increased the much needed supply of water as well as acquiring 13 new ambulances which will help the county government in its health functions. And universal health care, NMS has identified 326,000 vulnerable people for NHIH support and we have already sponsored 66,000 households within Nairobi and I'm sure its excellency the governor will surpass that target as he takes over. Additionally, NMS has enhanced provision of health, finance and medical equipment, capacity building for human resource for health, and formulation of health policies and bills to improve service delivery. On transport and public work, NMS has covered almost 350 kilometers of roads, rehabilitated over 100 kilometers of road, maintained 88 kilometers and developed 20 kilometers of non-motorable transport corridors that has enhanced efficient transport of people, goods and services. NMS has already constructed three foot bridges and five motorable bridges to enhance vehicular and pedestrian passage and on top of that we have already bought 20 more new bridges which is excellency the governor will install in various places. To decongest the CBD and in line with the recommendation contained in the Nairobi integrated urban master plan, NMS has commenced the construction of six bus terminals outside CBD. To date, NMS has completed the construction of Green Park, Park Road, Decide Road, Westland Bus Terminals. NMS has also rehabilitated Muzuruwa, Kangemi, Hakati Bus Terminal. The county government I'm sure under Sakada will complete the other bus terminals and operationalize them to achieve the desired outcome. NMS has also overseen the commissioning of Kanbundo Road asphalt plant that provides material for constructing, upgrading and recapiting of city roads at a much lower cost. In housing, NMS has surveyed 6,863 county unloaded plots and have already processed 13,834 land lease document and our national titling program a total of 7,248 titles were processed and are currently being issued to Nairobi land owners. To bring services closer to the people, NMS partnered with the judiciary to construct four small courts in Nairobi. This includes a court in Mihango, a court in Kasarani, a court in the Goretti South and a court in Huruma. And the construction is underway and is about to be complete. I'm sure with the Excellency the governor will commission them very soon. NMS has also rehabilitated rental flats in Jammuhuri, Buruburu and Karibangi South estates. Father, we have upgraded eight markets and trading centers, namely in Mudura, Wakulima, Landis Road, Toy Market and Bakasi Village, Karibangi South, Kayola Spine and Jericho. This has not only improved that status but also enhanced the dignity of Nairobi residents. Plans are underway to rehabilitate all other county houses. To afford resident decent housing, we took over from the county Pangani and Givenji housing projects where Pangani alone delivered 1,562 housing units and Givenji will generate 1,830 units with eight more estates here for development through public private participation. NMS prioritized efficiency in processing development control application resulting in clearance of a backlog of 5,400 development application within the first 100 days as well as developing an online platform to handle development control in Nairobi. Introduction of quick response code has eliminated the need of manual stamping and signing approval payment. This is in line with automated services and access under one platform, hence the establishment of Nairobi Revenue System. Under water environment, in order to restore the city's title of green city under the sun, NMS employed robust environmental practices aimed at restoring the city's lost glory through sustainable waste management and proliferation of green infrastructure. NMS has increased the garbage collection to almost 3,000 from previous 1,800 tons per day and boosted by reactivation of 35 ground solid waste collection trucks which has greatly enhanced the city solid waste collection capacity. NMS in collaboration with other government agencies eliminated illegal dump sites and rehabilitated them thereby enhancing greenery in the city. We have also contract NMS has also contracted two material recovery facilities in Muzuru market in Molen which are at 40 and 60 percent complete. These have been done using internal capacity. Lands are underway to commence construction of six more material recovery facilities within various sub-counties in Nairobi. The rehabilitation of Michuki Park, Uhuru Park and Central Park which had been left in a dilapidated state for years has seen the upgrading of the public parks into one class recreational facility. The revitalization of Jivanji Garden is almost 60 percent complete while the plant and flower nursery at City Park is almost 70 percent complete. NMS also undertook beautification and landscaping projects along development works including newly constructed hospital compounds, bus terminal and NMS corridors. In water section NMS has ensured supply of free water in informal settlement at an average of 900,000 liters being distributed every day. This has improved in sanitation and in the fight of COVID. Energy and public lighting NMS has done a holistic urban lighting approach and installed the faulty and vandalized lights across the city. An average of 6000 lights were revived every month. Thirteen dedicated transformers for flood lights were installed in Makuru Kwanjenga informal settlement increasing service delivery from 42 to 85 percent. NMS has provided electrical services by maintaining electrical installations all across the city count. So we leave behind a progressive city that holds a promise for future generations to come. I take this opportunity to thank the national government for giving me this noble responsibility for spearheading the transform of our great city in the capacity of DG of NMS. I extend my gratitude to national government, county government that we have worked very well, the Kenya Defence Forces and His Excellency Governor Sakada and our various partners and stakeholders as well as people of Nairobi for their trust and more importantly their unwavering support and coordination that has led to this great achievement. Through this responsibility I was reminded that the greatest fulfillment in life is found in the spirit of making a lasting positive impression in the life of others. As a leader I held true to the value of courage, accountability, agility, adaptability enacted in my role. It has been truly such an honor serving the people of Nairobi. I would like to give special thanks to my dedicated team who applied themselves in ensuring effective and efficient service delivery across the four functions in line with our vision. Indeed the people of Nairobi will continue to reap the benefits of your hard work and dedicated four years to come. I highly take pride in the concerted effort exerted by each and every one of you. As I pass the baton to His Excellency the Governor Johnson Sakada, I remain devoted to supporting the county government in the execution of its mandate and realization of the aspiration of people of Nairobi and Kenya at large. Let us continue the good work of upholding transparency, accountability and efficiency in service delivery. Your Excellency I wish you a great success. God bless Nairobi, God bless Kenya.
