The defunct Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) has been allocated an additional Sh3.2 billion to settle pending bills, opening a fresh controversy on who will spend the money now that the entity does not exist.

The additional allocation, which pushes NMS’ total budget for the current financial year ending June this year to Sh17.6 billion, comes a month after President William Ruto, in an executive order, expunged the agency from the list of agencies under his office.
