Nairobi Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) have said they will press about 20 charges against Governor Johnson Sakaja in a bid to oust him from office.

According to the MCAs, the key charges include corruption, misuse of public funds, misconduct, and failure to fulfil promises made to city residents in the run-up to the 2022 elections.

Speaking at City Hall on the second day of collecting signatures in support of the impeachment motion, the ward representatives said their past attempts to reach out to Sakaja over development issues had fallen on deaf ears. "We have been trying to highlight the problems, but he has been making excuses, including saying that he is busy and unable to solve them," Kilimani MCA Robert Alai stated.

The MCAs said that by Monday, they had secured enough signatures, terming the grounds to impeach the governor substantive, and insisted that no one was influencing them.
