Nairobi County Governor Johnson Sakaja is facing a potential 6-month jail term for contempt of court following an application demanding action for his prolonged failure to appoint a County Secretary.

• The application cites non-compliance with a December 5, 2025, High Court order mandating the initiation of a recruitment process and appointment within specified timelines.
• Key figure subject to the legal action is Governor Johnson Sakaja, with petitioners arguing the office has been vacant for over 7 years.
• This marks a second instance where Sakaja has faced potential jailing for contempt, with a previous application related to a collective bargaining agreement with county workers.
