How Nairobi county has been captured by cartels within City Hall
Nairobi County has been transformed into a functioning crime location where the degenerate have utilized the courts and equal installment frameworks to siphon billions into various organization financial balances while basic administrations and authentic providers go neglected and unattended to.
The mild-mannered and believing Governor Ann Kananu has ended up in comparative waters to previous Governors Evans Kidero and Mike Sonko who were overwhelmed by the cartels.
It is consequently that Sonko looked for help from the chief.
Following her swearing in, Governor Kananu was quickly stood up to by a province in mayhem. A few providers and workers for hire who had offered administrations to the region had not been paid and staff were nearly a strike because of postponed installments and disrupted health care coverage and stipends.

While the area financial plan for the year had been endorsed and dispensed, certifiable providers had not been paid, numerous for progressing administrations crossing over year and a half.
A couple of providers had offered out incentives to the Chief Finance Officer with expectations of being paid once the following financial plan was delivered yet were at this point to be paid too.
Many trusted that with the passage of the new lead representative, the time of vulnerability would reach a conclusion, however they were off-base. The cartels had simply started to settle in an arrangement of district catch that would see phantom providers and a secrecy of financial specialists from a specific local area benefit.
In a bid to consistent the boat, Governor Kananu rebuilt the County Chief Officers through Executive Order No. 3 of 2022 to further develop administration conveyance to Nairobi inhabitants.
Our examinations have uncovered various providers and project workers whose bills of conveyance not set in stone.
These providers of “air” amusingly had reliably been settled completely through the previous Chief of Finance, Mr Mohammed Abdi Sahal who was being moved to the wellbeing division as examinations were started by the Governor and insightful bodies.
Providers and staff inhaled a murmur of help as they expected aggregate back payments owed by the region.
This alleviation was fleeting anyway as Mr Sahal tested his exchange at the Labor and Employment Court where Justice Kibira Ocharo gave orders guiding Mr Sahal’s reestablishment to the money agenda.
It is accepted that Justice Ocharo was deceived by Mr Sahal into giving requests for his restoration notwithstanding a prior request gave by an alternate court.
Equity Hellen Ong’udi had recently banned him from practicing the obligations of the money official. This has prompted clashing requests given by the two courts further intensifying the problem looked by certifiable providers who need to now battle with the proceeded with unlawful control of the money office by Mr Sahal.
So the inquiry stands, for what reason does Mr Sahal consider it fit to stay in office notwithstanding a departmental exchange?
Recently, questions were raised by a few providers who were all the while anticipating installment from the province while additional as of late contracted providers were being paid.
A few providers griped that they had been gathered to lodgings and pay-offs requested of them despite everything they had not been paid.
After our examinations it arose that the supposed organizations that got the unpredictably moved Ksh120 Million had provided no administrations to the region and didn’t go through any offering and assessment process inside Nairobi County Government.
These incorporate a larger part of organizations whose proprietors have a place with a specific local area.
The exchange was executed by Mr Sahal only a short time after he squirmed his direction back into office after the CEC finance was scared and compelled to sign a letter giving him back the command that had before been removed.
The Ksh120 million was paid by the previous money official, Mr Sahal, in spite of the chief request no 3 moving him to an alternate area.
In a new mission occasion, Nairobi lead representative confident Polycarp Igathe expressed that business in Nairobi had been caught by a strong cartel of 3 people, who our examinations have uncovered as containing previous County Finance Officer Mr Sahal, Mr Abas Khalif (South C MCA confident) and the head of larger part Nairobi County Assembly Abdi Guyo who is presently looking for gubernatorial seat for Isiolo County.
Mr Khalif is likewise looking at the place of the head of larger part in the region gathering, liable to additionally settle in the cartel.
The assets taken from Nairobi County are reasonable being diverted into their individual political missions.
It is a loosely held bit of information that a provider who needs to be paid for labor and products should visit Mr Sahal when he is at the Reata Hotel in Milimani.
Mr Sahal and a few money managers, greater part from a specific local area, connected to the phantom provider organizations that consistently get compensated from the region cash safes have set up long-lasting office at the lodging, regularly taking authority province conferences in the premises.
It is from this informal office that Mr Sahal and his partners conclude which providers will be paid.
The extra charge to join the installment list has been uncovered by a few providers to run between 20-30% of the forthcoming bill.
The cash is purportedly gathered under pretense as a kick back to the ‘mkubwa’ or Governor Kananu however it has been affirmed through additional examination that this cash is conveyed among Mr Sahal, Mr Khalif and Mr Guyo.
As certifiable providers anticipate installments, the district catch machine keeps on practicing their equal installment framework that channels billions to ruin financial specialists from a specific local area who don’t supply anything.
Most NMS projects to be specific; streets, asphalts and emergency clinic forthcoming bills can’t be paid because of redirection of assets by the previous money official, Mr Sahal.
MCAs from a few wards in Nairobi have likewise communicated dissatisfactions after their Ward Development Funds were redirected by Mr Sahal, even after he was moved from the money agenda, as he requests enormous pay-offs and kick-backs.
The outcome is a class of disappointed certifiable supplies and a district organization on its demise bed.
A few staff have admitted to expanded defers in compensation installment as the assets are redirected through Mr Sahal and his cartel’s unlawful equal framework into private pockets.
Letters and records in our control, including a sworn oath by the Comptroller of Budget, show that district reserves are more than once redirected by Mr Sahal.
The redirection of staff derivations, compensations, imprest, remittances and unfulfilled obligations has injured the organization.
A considerable rundown of basic administrations including clinical protection, KRA forthcoming bills, KPLC forthcoming bills, vehicle protection (counting for crisis reaction vehicles like ambulances and fire motors) among others have comparatively not been paid.
The frantic molding has driven the province staff extremely close to strike, not assisted by the climate of terrorizing and harassing ingrained by the district with catching hardware.
Holding Mr Sahal as a vessel and instrument of province catch to support a couple of individuals from a specific local area keeps on damagingly affecting Nairobi overall.
Equity Ocharo was deceived by Mr Sahal who keeps on recording cases with the court to slow and slow down remedial measures to the circumstance.
For each situation defilement has retaliated and taken much greater chomps from the province spending plan. The most recent episode saw Ksh120 Million lost and is at present being scrutinized by the Directorate of Criminal examinations.
In the bigger picture, billions have proactively been lost to the district catch hardware.
We reached Governor Kananu for a remark on the claims. She declined to address us and expressed that the matter is at present being scrutinized at DCI thus she can’t remark until the examinations are finished up.
We likewise attempted to arrive at previous County Finance Officer Mr Sahal for a remark however he stays inaccessible.
Nonetheless, the harm he and his posse have caused is finished to the point that for a situation of mixed up personality, a financial specialist looking like him was as of late pummeled by disappointed providers when he looked for district help.
The blunder of the County Finance Office by Mr Sahal has prompted a few capture warrants being given against the County Secretary Dr Jairus Musumba for non-installment of court orders got by baffled providers.
While trying to sidestep capture because of these warrants against him, Dr Musumba has been not able to actually go to his office in the beyond a half year, being compelled to work from undisclosed areas.
District catch, similar as state catch, is raised defilement. People, similar to Mr Sahal and his partners, are known to their casualties and through control and terrorizing are keeping themselves in ability to totally drain the district and nation dry.
As of now garbage men in the province of Nairobi have taken steps to call a strike until their levy are paid. As the rottenness and trash start to stack up, numerous others keep thinking about whether and when they will see their cash toward the finish of the passage.
Nairobi was once known as the city in the sun, yet the exercises of this cartel have left only obscurity, agony and sadness to the staff of Nairobi County, the occupants and the financial backers of Nairobi County.
