Nairobi’s County Assembly members, led by Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai, have voiced their discontent with Governor Johnson Sakaja, raising issues that could lead to impeachment.
This push stems from concerns over alleged mismanagement and operational delays, particularly regarding bursary disbursements meant to support students.
MCAs argue that, despite substantial daily revenue collections, bursary funds have been held up, leaving many students without assistance.
These delays are among several frustrations cited by MCAs, who believe that Sakaja’s administration has neglected essential services, including garbage collection, resulting in deteriorating city conditions.
Tensions have further escalated as Sakaja faces criticism from both Azimio-affiliated MCAs and his own Kenya Kwanza coalition.
Some MCAs accuse him of favoring Azimio supporters within his administration, which has strained his relationship with Kenya Kwanza allies.
In response to these accusations, Sakaja has held meetings with various Azimio members to address grievances.
However, the ongoing dissatisfaction, particularly over financial transparency and service delivery, continues to stir impeachment discussions.
Despite these criticisms, some MCAs consider the impeachment calls premature. They argue that while there are governance concerns, Sakaja still has an opportunity to rebuild trust and realign his priorities.
The situation has put Sakaja in a delicate position as he navigates political pressures from both coalitions, each with differing expectations of his leadership and management of Nairobi’s resources
