Newly elected Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has hit the ground running. Coming from him, this is not surprising because, as the immediate former Senator of Nairobi, he is fully apprised of the goings on in the city.
In what could be a reciprocal gesture to the hustlers who voted for him, Mr Sakaja ordered the unconditional release of all boda boda riders who had been arrested by County Askaris. Second, he has terminated the Kenya Revenue Authority's mandate to collect taxes on behalf of the county government. Third, he has assured county workers that henceforth, their salaries will be paid promptly.
