Thursday, September 26, 2024 - A section of Mt Kenya elders has endorsed their preferred individual to replace Nairobi County Governor Johnson Sakaja in 2027.
Since his election in 2022, Sakaja, who won on the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket, has done little to improve the
lives of Nairobi residents.
The only thing Sakaja is good at is looting
money from Nairobi county and buying houses in South Africa, Dubai, and the Americas
as claimed by Embakasi East Member of Parliament, Babu Owino.
Due to his nonperformance and endemic
corruption in his administration, Sakaja has fallen out with the Mt Kenya
electorate who supported his bid in 2022.
On Tuesday, Mt Kenya elders met at a Nairobi
hotel and endorsed politician Agnes Kagure as Sakaja’s replacement during the 2027
general election.
The elders accused the Sakaja administration of
harassing traders through an increment of county fees and making many
Nairobians suffer.
"My fellow Kenyans, especially those from Mt Kenya, we have really suffered because we don't have caring leaders.
"We want to value Kagure so that Nairobi can reform so our children can attend school.
"Right now, even our university students are not getting help from the county, even though we have not benefited from the governor's bursaries.
"But we know
Kagure is on the way coming," one of the elders said.
On her part, Kagure urged leaders to serve the
people, as she emphasized important places of cultural heritage ahead of Kikuyu
Cultural Day in October.
