A Nairobi resident has tabled a petition to the Nairobi County Assembly seeking to initiate the impeachment process against Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.
In the petition, the resident has accused the county chief of gross violation of the constitution and national laws, abuse of office, and violation of the rights of Nairobi residents. The petitioner has further accused Sakaja of illegally deploying county officers to evict tenants from county-managed estates, in addition to fraudulent misrepresentation of the rent arrears of property owners in the city.
According to the petitioner, the county assembly should admit the petition and initiate an impeachment proceeding in accordance with Standing Order 68.
According to the petitioner, Sakaja's removal will bring accountability back to the county government.
