Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga is facing significant backlash and potential repercussions after making controversial remarks regarding the alleged death of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. His comments, claiming that Raila’s demise would be a blessing for the Mt Kenya region, led to his resignation as the vice chair of the Council of Governors (CoG).

• Kahiga's comments asserted that Raila’s political partnership with President William Ruto had disrupted development priorities in Central Kenya.
• The United Democratic Alliance (UDA), Kahiga’s party, could initiate disciplinary action, potentially leading to his expulsion, although expulsion would not automatically result in him losing his governorship.
• Other potential outcomes include an impeachment motion by the Nyeri County Assembly, a summons from the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) for incitement remarks, or even professional consequences from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
