President William Ruto has revealed a phone call that forced Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja to apologise over the dispute between the Nairobi City County and Kenya Power.
The dispute saw county garbage trucks block access to Stima Plaza over an outstanding debt.
Speaking at Jesus Winner Ministry in Roysambu, Nairobi on Sunday, March 2, Ruto said the phone call prompted Sakaja to admit the county's mistake. "The other day they made a mistake, and I called him and others, and I told them, 'Listen, you must stop this matter.' I thank the governor for apologising because it was a mistake, and it takes a courageous leader to say, 'I am sorry,'" said Ruto.
The dispute was resolved after a high-level meeting chaired by Head of Public Service Felix Koskei on Wednesday, February 26.
