President Uhuru on Thursday convened an all cabinet meeting in Statehouse. During the event held in the morning, the President witnessed the taking and subscription to the Oath of Secrecy by Major-General Mohammed Abdalla Badi, the Director-General of the Nairobi Metropolitan Services(NMS), a requirement of all persons who attend Cabinet Meetings or participate in the conduct of Cabinet Business.

“The Director-General shall henceforth attend all meetings of Cabinet and its Committees, pursuant to Executive Order No. 3 of 2020.” Reads a statement from Statehouse.

The Ceremony conducted by the Head of the Public Service was aprecursor to the Cabinet Meeting held at State House today. The new development now gives General Badi more powers as he’s technically considered a member of the cabinet. Badi takeover of Nairobi has never gone down well with Governor Sonko who has been reduced to a flower girl with soft departments left for him to run. Core city functions are now fully under Badi.
