The Kenyan Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations has approved a Sh80 billion cooperation agreement between the National Government and Nairobi City County, allowing Governor Johnson Sakaja to proceed with the deal.

• The deal aims to provide additional resources for Nairobi's development, which Governor Sakaja states is currently insufficient from the Exchequer.
• Key figures involved include Governor Johnson Sakaja and Senate Committee Chairperson Mohamed Abass.
• Despite the approval, some senators raised concerns about oversight, public participation, and potential national government overreach in the agreement's framework, citing similarities to the dissolved Nairobi Metropolitan Services.
