Nairobi MCAs revive impeachment bid against Governor Sakaja, citing 22 grounds.
Nairobi's political temperature rose again after Members of the County Assembly revived a motion to impeach Governor Johnson Sakaja, citing 22 grounds for his removal. The MCAs said they had gathered the signatures needed to clear the first procedural threshold, though the detailed grounds were withheld pending formal submission to the Speaker.
The move revives an effort that stalled in late 2025, when Sakaja was given 60 days to address the assembly's concerns. This time, backers insisted they were serious – but the push quickly split City Hall, with some Azimio-aligned MCAs rejecting it and questioning both its timing and motives.
Impeachment bids against sitting governors are politically fraught and rarely straightforward, requiring assembly votes and, ultimately, the Senate. For ordinary Nairobians, the drama at City Hall is a familiar backdrop to the everyday concerns – garbage, water, roads and jobs – they most want their leaders focused on. How this latest standoff plays out could shape the county's direction ahead of the next election cycle.
