Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) Director-General Mohammed Badi has emphasized the agency's commitment to service delivery, distancing itself from county politics.
Speaking during a courtesy call on the Nairobi County Assembly, Badi stated that the NMS was established by President Uhuru Kenyatta on March 18, 2020, and marked its 100th day in office on Sunday.
"I'm not a politician and I don't have a say in politics and don't wish to do so. Mine is service delivery. I'm here as your servant and I can assure you I will work around the clock to ensure that all the 85 wards are developed," he said.
He also clarified that the NMS will work without bias or favouritism to deliver services, stating that as uniformed personnel, he serves all residents of Nairobi without bias.
As the NMS approaches its 100th day in office, Badi has urged the MCAs to set their priorities right in terms of projects, promising not to neglect any of the 85 wards in terms of project implementation as per budgetary allocation.
He stated that the NMS mandate is service delivery and not dishing out favours, adding that it is not a favour when residents demand service delivery, but rather their right as it will benefit their people.
