President Uhuru Kenyatta has appointed a major general for the Nairobi county administration after the county was declared metropolitan.
Major general Badi is a decorated Kenya Air Force general with rich experience, having served in several high-ranking positions.
He served as logistics helicopter Deputy Commandant at the National Defence College and as United Nations staff officer in 1999 during the Sierra Leone peacekeeping but until his appointment, Badi was a senior air director at the National Defence College
The major general will be deputized by Mr. Enosh Onyango Momanyi, the Principal Secretary for Physical Planning.
Mr. Momanyi started his civil service career in the lower cadres of the ministry as a clerical officer.
He has risen through the ranks to become an Under-Secretary before his appointment as a PS in January.
Momanyi started his career as a housing officer in the Ministry of Housing before being moved to the office of the Attorney-General.
While here, he spearheaded the development of urban roads before the coming of Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) and other unique urban development initiatives such as stormwater drainage systems, non-motorized transport, disaster management, markets, and bus parks.
The general’s team will now oversee the running of the four delegated functions — health, transport, planning and development, and public works and utilities — which together have a budget of over Sh20 billion.
In effect, this left Mr. Sonko — who is facing charges of corruption — with less influential responsibilities such as the licensing of dogs, controlling pornography, and other non-essential services, effectively rendering him a ceremonial governor.
