Saturday, October 5, 20214 –Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has filed an affidavit supporting the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over misconduct.
The city boss accuses the DP of many things that includes incitement along tribal lines and interference with county governance. In the affidavit seen by this desk, Governor Sakaja states that DP Gachagua’s remarks have been fueling ethnic tension in the city, referring to a case regarding the management of traffic and the relocation of public transport terminals in Nairobi CBD.
“His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua had previously interfered with the Nairobi City County Government’s management of traffic within the city, especially the relocation of matatu terminals, through ethnic incitement,” reads the affidavit in part.
When the controversy erupted in 2022, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua launched a scathing critique of Governor Sakaja’s move to eject matatus from the city center, warning him to to ‘tread carefully’ since such actions could backfire into his face.
He accused Governor Sakaja of forgetting who mobilised voters for him, stating that decisions affecting the businesses community in Nairobi needed prior discussions with key stakeholders, particularly those who helped him win the election.
On the other hand, Governor Sakaja also claims in the affidavit that DP Gachagua interfered with the proper discharge of county government’s constitutional mandate regarding alcohol control and regulation which further undermined county autonomy.
In the filed papers, the governor argues that these actions, which amounts to incitement and demeaning of other independent offices are proper grounds for his impeachment.
The governor’s sentiments adding fuel to the ongoing public participation exercise that has been marred by chaos and name-calling.
Though many Kenyans want Gachagua impeached, a section has been seen agitating for ‘Ruto-Gachagua’ removal from office.
