Sakaja could be impeached within next 2 months – Kileleshwa MCA Alai
By Kiprono Keileb, September 4, 2025Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has issued a stern warning to Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, saying his continued abrasive and arrogant conduct toward Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) could trigger impeachment within the next two months.
Speaking on Thursday, September 4, 2025, Alai calls out the governor for dismissing legitimate concerns raised by ward representatives simply because he believed he had secured the majority support in the assembly.
“Sakaja has been very abrasive and arrogant toward MCAs because he believed he had secured the majority side. That is why Raila told him to apologise and implement what the MCAs have raised,” Alai stated.
The MCA stated that despite political interventions to calm rising tensions, the governor has yet to demonstrate a genuine commitment to addressing issues brought forward by the assembly. He said Raila Odinga himself had advised Sakaja to make amends with MCAs and act on their demands, but the governor has allegedly shown little effort in that direction.
Alai further suggested that previous attempts to impeach Sakaja may have been thwarted by behind-the-scenes political manoeuvring, implying that powerful interests could have stepped in to shield the governor from accountability.
“If impeachment was stopped because money was exchanged, that remains an assumption,” he said, adding that the coming months will be critical for the governor’s political survival.
The Kileleshwa representative made it clear that MCAs are running out of patience, warning that the assembly could take decisive action if Sakaja fails to change course. “If Sakaja doesn’t change within the next two months, which he won’t, we will impeach him,” Alai warned.
His remarks underscore the growing rift between the county executive and the assembly, with MCAs increasingly frustrated over what they view as unilateral decision-making and disregard for their oversight role.
The impeachment threat marks the latest escalation in the ongoing standoff, which has seen Nairobi politics dominated by disputes over governance, service delivery, and respect for assembly processes.
Alai’s comments signal that the governor’s fate could hinge on his ability to reconcile with MCAs and heed advice from senior political leaders. Without a shift in his approach, Sakaja could be staring at one of the most serious political tests of his tenure.
