It has emerged that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report if fully implemented in its current state, might deeply affect operations in the capital of Kenya, Nairobi county.
In the outlined proposals released on Tuesday, the BBI taskforce seeks to hand over the county to the national government, which might take away its current state as an independent county.
The report states though some county government functions might be handed back to the national government, this will not affect the different levels of citizen representation.
"However, such special status should not impede on the right of the people to representation at the Ward and Constituency levels," reads the report in part, according to the Star.
The report released on Tuesday states that given that the city houses regional and international organization headquarters, it should be accorded a special status.
It adds that as a result, the city should be given massive infrastructural investments that cannot be accommodated under the formula of the Commission for Revenue Allocation.
It says that the changes are needed to: "To maintain its special status as a global UN Headquarter and meet its obligation towards the United Nations and other diplomatic missions."
Nairobi is the smallest county, under governor Mike Sonko, and is also the richest and most populated in the country.
