On June 28, 2020, President Uhuru Kenyatta received the 100-days performance report by the Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) at Harambee House in Nairobi.
According to the President, he had issued several directives to NMS to achieve within the 100 days, which period ended on Saturday, June 28 this year.
The directives were aimed at enhancing service provision in the areas of waste collection and disposal, water and sanitation, housing and urban development, transport and public works.
President Kenyatta expressed satisfaction with the progress made by NMS in implementing the directives, saying, “I am satisfied that the directives for the first 100 days have been implemented in earnest.”
He challenged NMS to work towards making Nairobi a model city, saying, “I challenge NMS to demonstrate that Nairobi can be the model of our Post COVID-19 National Recovery Strategy.”
Major General Mohammed Badi, the Director General of NMS, assured the Head of State of his agency’s determination to transform Nairobi into a smart city by fully implementing its broad mandate.
During the ceremony, President Kenyatta toured some of the agency’s projects in Nairobi’s informal settlements, including community water boreholes and water purification facilities at Kiboro Primary School (Mathare), Chief’s Camp (Mathare North) and at Kibra DCC’s office.
Communities neighbouring the boreholes receive treated water for their domestic use at no cost.
