The Nairobi City County Government has taken a significant step in strengthening its legal capacity by recruiting a team of experienced advocates to safeguard public funds and improve legal representation.
Speaking during the official opening of an induction program for the newly recruited advocates in the Office of the County Attorney, Deputy Governor Njoroge Muchiri emphasized the critical role of effective legal representation in protecting county resources and ensuring sound governance.
“Recognizing the crucial role of effective legal representation in safeguarding public funds, the Nairobi City County Government recently recruited a team of dedicated and experienced advocates to join the legal arm of the Government,” said Muchiri.
The induction program, overseen by County Attorney Ms. Christine Ireri, aims to equip the legal team with a deeper understanding of the county’s legal framework and operational mandates. The advocates bring expertise in various fields of law, which will be instrumental in minimizing litigation-related losses, defending the county’s interests in legal disputes, and negotiating favorable settlements where necessary.
Muchiri expressed confidence that this strategic investment will enhance revenue collection, reduce legal liabilities, and improve service delivery for Nairobi residents.
“As a County Government, we are confident that this strategic investment in our legal capacity will lead to a significant improvement in revenue collection, reduced litigation losses, and enhanced service delivery for the residents of Nairobi,” he added.
With this initiative, Nairobi City County aims to reinforce its legal standing, protect public resources, and ensure that legal matters are handled efficiently to support effective governance and service delivery.
