The unending crisis of Sonko’s Nairobi County

Right now, Mike Mbuvi Sonko, the governor of Nairobi County, is facing corruption charges. He is accused of misappropriating KSh381 million. If Sonko is found guilty and kicked out of office, there is no deputy governor to replace him. The former DG Polycarp Igathe resigned last year, citing that Sonko is a difficult person to work with.

Another thing is the crisis at the Nairobi County Assembly. MCAs fight almost every day, trying to impeach Speaker Beatrice Elachi. These MCAs love the cat-and-mouse game of chasing one another. They don’t realize how much time and energy they are wasting with non-issues.
