Once hailed as a visionary, Nairobi Governor Johnson Arthur Sakaja faces an impeachment motion, with over 70 MCAs signing charges ranging from financial misconduct to persistent water shortages, signaling a dramatic fall from grace just over two years into his term.

• Sakaja was ranked a dismal 37 out of 47 governors in a February 2025 Infotrak CountryTrak survey.
• Nairobi MCAs have drafted more than 20 charges against Sakaja and his deputy James Muchiri.
• Despite Raila Odinga's intervention, MCAs have openly defied him, insisting the impeachment is a "members-only process," raising questions about Odinga's influence.
