22 Governors Might Be Driven Home If Elections Were Conducted Today.

According to a Research 8020 survey, 22 governors, including Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, may be removed if elections were conducted today.

Why Sakaja will probably lose his job

In an election, 63% of Nairobi County poll respondents would have voted Sakaja out, according to a statement obtained by TUKO.co.ke.

Sakaja’s administration has faced many difficulties; among them are rumors that he has funded people to obstruct nonviolent protests. Sakaja responded to the accusations by saying that he was in Mombasa for a weeklong retreat with his Cabinet to discuss plans for the upcoming fiscal year, therefore he could not have been engaged.

The county leader’s handling of the severe downpour, which resulted in substantial damage and fatalities, was also condemned. Sakaja recently experienced animosity on Saturday, August 3, when he went to Kibera’s Toi Market following an early-morning fire incident.

A video shared online showed the county leader surrounded by his aides as projectiles were thrown rapidly and continuously toward them.
