Kenya's National and Nairobi County governments have signed a Ksh80 billion cooperation pact to streamline urban development, with President William Ruto dismissing claims of a takeover. The agreement, signed at State House Nairobi, focuses on improving infrastructure and services across the capital.

• The pact allocates Ksh3.7 billion to complete 10,000 stalled street lights and install an additional 40,000 new lights across Nairobi.
• The President reaffirmed, "There is no transfer of functions happening. For the avoidance of doubt, I have no interest in running the city of Nairobi, my hands are full." This was echoed by Governor Johnson Sakaja, who clarified it is a collaboration, not a transfer like the past NMS model.
• Ksh9 billion is committed to building two parallel 27-kilometre trunk sewer lines along the Nairobi River corridor, and Ksh6 billion for a new sewer treatment plant with a capacity of 60 million litres per day.
