Nairobi Deputy Governor Anne Kananu will today (Tuesday) hold her first cabinet meeting.
This is even as the county government kicks of a public participation exercise to get the public's views on the state of service delivery in the capital.
As her first task, Kananu will hold the cabinet meeting which will be the first since 2019 when Sonko last called for one before the courts barred him from accessing his office over graft allegations.
This was confirmed by Health Services CEC Hitan Majevdia.
The meeting comes just over a week after Nairobi County Assembly Speaker Benson Mutura handed over the reins of City Hall to Ms Kananu ending his short stint as acting governor.
“We have been told there will be a cabinet meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) at City Hall but the official invitation and the agenda will be communicated later in the day,” confirmed Health Services CEC Hitan Majevdia.
The cabinet will then retreat to Mombasa on Wednesday for a meeting with Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) team over the way forward for the city county.
This follows a similar meeting between NMS and Nairobi County Assembly in Mombasa last week over the state of the county.

The reorganisation saw the return of former Nairobi Education Executive Janet Ouko to the previous position.
Ms Ouko, who resigned from the county government in January, 2019, replaces Lucia Mulwa, who incidentally took over the Education, Youth Affairs and Sports docket following Ms Ouko’s resignation.
Ms Mulwa will now head the Agriculture, Fisheries and Livestock department which has been vacant since the sacking of the former holder of the position Winfred Kathangu last year.
