That Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja is living on borrowed time is now an open secret.
With impeachment looming, Raila Odinga’s attempt to save him has collapsed like a house of cards.
City Hall is at the center of a storm as damning documents reveal a picture of mismanagement, corruption, and abuse of office.
Nairobi MCAs have cited irregular procurement practices, unconfirmed deliveries, and questionable payments to suppliers and law firms as the core grounds for their impeachment motion.
At the centre of the storm are revelations that five suppliers were paid a staggering KSh60,866,140 for goods that could not be traced to county stores.
According to an audit trail, suppliers such as Lakev Enterprises and Larsen Investment Ltd were allegedly paid for floodlights and drainage materials that never reached the stores at Ladhies Road and Nanyuki.

“Further, management has not provided payment vouchers and other supporting documents, including requisitions, procurement plans, tender minutes, or inspection certificates,” part of the audit noted, warning of a “loss of public funds due to irregular activities.”
Separately, a dossier circulating among MCAs raises concerns over ongoing illegal procurement practices.
It points to projects on Haile Selassie Avenue and Moi Avenue service lane, reportedly undertaken without documented contracts in violation of the Procurement and Disposal Act.
The report alleges that the works are being directed by Musyoka Mutiso, a close ally of the governor, under the oversight of Chief of Staff David Njoroge.
The duo is accused of conducting construction activities without the supervision of city engineers, presenting what critics describe as a clear conflict of interest.
“These works are being carried out using county resources, including machinery, fuel, and materials sourced from county stores,” the report states, terming it a misuse of public assets that raises ethical and legal concerns.
MCAs say these irregularities expose entrenched graft at City Hall, siphoning money meant for essential services into private pockets.
The impeachment motion, now formally drafted, accuses Sakaja of presiding over an administration where corruption thrives unchecked, undermining public trust and accountability.
As the Assembly prepares for heated sessions in the coming days, Sakaja’s political survival looks increasingly uncertain.
