Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja faces a formal bid to remove him from office after 70 elected Members of the County Assembly signed an impeachment motion tabled on 26 August. The bipartisan group of ward representatives accuses the governor and his deputy of incompetence and failing to address residents’ needs, saying City Hall has been “tone-deaf to the county's challenges.” Under Kenya’s county governments law, the motion now proceeds to plenary debate; it requires support from at least two-thirds of the 124-member Assembly to pass. If adopted, the charges would be forwarded to the Senate for trial, where senators would deliver a final verdict on Sakaja’s tenure. The push marks the most serious political threat to Sakaja since he took office in 2022 and comes amid heightened public scrutiny of service delivery and corruption in the capital. Neither the governor nor his deputy had issued an official response by Tuesday evening.
