Githurai MCA Waithira Resigns, Blames Sakaja’s Administration for Obstructing Service Delivery

0

Githurai Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA), Deonysias Mwangi Waithira, has tendered his resignation, citing persistent frustrations with Governor Johnson Sakaja’s administration, which he accuses of sidelining his ward and deliberately obstructing service delivery.

In a strongly worded resignation letter addressed to Nairobi County Assembly Speaker Kennedy Okeyo Ng’ondi, Waithira announced that he would vacate his seat effective immediately, saying he could no longer serve under an administration that had “consistently ignored the needs of Githurai residents.”

Waithira, who was elected on a platform of championing grassroots development, pointed to unfinished road projects, under-resourced health facilities, and stalled community initiatives as key indicators of executive neglect.

According to him, repeated efforts to secure county support for these projects were frustrated, leaving Githurai residents disadvantaged compared to other wards.

For too long, my ward has been sidelined in critical development programs. Promises of road upgrades remain on paper, our hospital lacks basic resources, and several community projects have stalled without explanation. I cannot continue to serve my people in an environment where executive obstruction has become the norm,” Waithira stated in his letter.

Mounting Frustration

The MCA’s resignation did not come as a surprise to some colleagues, who revealed that Waithira had in recent months been vocal about the county executive’s alleged unwillingness to prioritize projects in Githurai. During assembly sessions, he is said to have repeatedly raised questions about budget allocations and equitable distribution of resources, often clashing with officials from Sakaja’s administration.

Residents of Githurai have also voiced concerns about the state of infrastructure and public services in the area. Roads remain in poor condition, drainage systems are clogged, and local hospitals face frequent shortages of medicine and staff. Several community development projects, including youth empowerment centers and market stalls, have reportedly stalled despite budgetary approvals.

Political Implications

Waithira’s resignation adds to growing tensions within Nairobi politics, where Governor Sakaja has faced criticism from both opposition leaders and some members of his own county assembly. Allegations of favoritism in resource allocation and sluggish implementation of development projects have surfaced multiple times, though the governor’s office has often dismissed them as “politically motivated attacks.”

Analysts argue that Waithira’s exit may deepen cracks in Sakaja’s relationship with local representatives, particularly those from wards that feel marginalized. It may also embolden other MCAs to openly confront the governor over what they perceive as inequitable service delivery.

Political commentator Dr. Charles Ndirangu noted that the resignation could have wider ramifications:

> “Waithira’s move is significant because it highlights a growing sense of frustration at the grassroots level. If more MCAs follow his example, Sakaja could face mounting pressure not only from the assembly but also from Nairobi voters, especially as we move closer to the 2027 elections.”

Speaker’s Response

In confirming receipt of Waithira’s resignation letter, Speaker Kennedy Okeyo Ng’ondi described the decision as “regrettable” but said the assembly would follow due process to declare the seat vacant. This will pave the way for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to organize a by-election in Githurai Ward.

Governor’s Office Silent

Efforts to reach Governor Sakaja or officials from his administration for comment proved unsuccessful by press time. However, sources close to City Hall indicated that the governor was expected to issue a formal statement in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Waithira has urged Githurai residents to remain steadfast, promising that his resignation was not the end of his political journey but rather “a stand against systemic neglect.”

“My resignation is a protest against a system that refuses to listen to the cries of ordinary Nairobians. I will continue to fight for Githurai, whether inside or outside the assembly,” he declared.

As Nairobi’s political climate heats up, Waithira’s departure marks a dramatic twist in the county’s governance story—one that could signal further turbulence for Governor Sakaja’s administration in the months ahead.

Murkomen Left Laughing After A Chief Requested Chag’aa To Be Legalized Over This

0

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen was visibly taken aback on Wednesday, september17, 2025, when an assistant chief made an impassioned call to have chag’aa legalized during a public safety forum in Siaya.

The remarks came during the “Jukwaa La Usalama” (Forum of Security) initiative, where locals, security chiefs and government administrators gather to address lingering issues of crime, illicit trade and social ills.

Speaking before a crowded hall, the assistant chief argued that chag’aa, the home‐brewed spirit long outlawed and associated with health risks and illegal trade, should instead be regulated.

“If chag’aa is taken through the right channels of alcohol distillation, it will be legal,” he stated, adding that the current battle of arresting sellers will end once regulation replaces prohibition.

The assistant chief contended that legalization paired with oversight standards for production, licensing, safety inspections could reduce criminal activities associated with illicit brews and ease enforcement pressures on local administration.

Murkomen, who leads the Ministry of Interior and oversees county security operations, responded to the assistant chief’s proposal with surprise.

While he did not immediately endorse the idea, his shock was evident as he fielded the argument amid murmurs from security officers and chiefs present.

The CS emphasized that existing government policy strongly opposes illicit brews, citing public health risks, alcohol abuse, and crime. He reiterated that law enforcement will continue crackdowns on illegal production and trade.

The incident has sparked debate in Siaya and beyond. Proponents of the assistant chief’s view argue that legalizing and regulating chag’aa can help bring brewers into the formal economy, generate revenue, and reduce harmful side‐effects of unregulated alcohol.

Critics warn of the dangers of alcohol abuse, challenges of regulation, and potential escalation in consumption if oversight is lax.

As fireworks fly over this unlikely proposal, Murkomen is expected to consult with health experts, regulatory authorities and stakeholders before any shift in policy. For now, Kenya’s laws on illicit alcohol remain firm.

More Trouble For Kericho Governor Mutai As MCA’s Goes After Him Again

0

Kericho County Governor His Excellency Eric Mutai is a man under siege again. This is coming just a few weeks after surviving two Impeachment motions at the Senate on technical grounds. 

Members of the Kericho County assembly vowed to go after him again despite being Saved by the Senate and well, they have actualized their threats and this time round. They have found a special way to frustrate him.

Also Read

The Notices of Motion for the removal from office of six Kericho CECs by way of impeachment were successfully tabled on the floor of the County Assembly of Kericho this afternoon.

Names Of CECs on the chopping Board.

The six CECs are:

  1. CEC Health – David Ekuwam
  2. CEC Finance – Jackson Rop
  3. CEC Roads and Public Works – Brendah Bii
  4. CEC Water – Philemon Kurgat
  5. CEC Lands – Joseph Korir
  6. CEC Agriculture – Magerer Lang’at

The County Assembly is expected to either form a Select Committee to deliberate on the impeachment motions or handle the matter in plenary.

If a Select Committee is formed, it will investigate the allegations, hear the CEC Members, and report back to the House within 10 days. The Assembly will then debate the report in plenary and take a vote.

If the plenary route is chosen, the whole House will conduct the hearing, listen to the CEC Members’ defenses, deliberate on their cases, and then vote.

Unlike the impeachment of a Governor or Deputy Governor, the two-thirds rule is not required to impeach a CEC under the County Governments Act. A CEC is considered impeached if the motion is supported by a simple majority of all Members of the County Assembly.

Kericho has 47 MCAs, meaning a simple majority is 24 members.

If the CECs are impeached, the Speaker of the County Assembly will communicate the resolution to the Governor, who is required to dismiss the CEC Members. The Governor cannot overturn the decision of the County Assembly.

Only the courts can overturn the impeachment of a CEC… not on the grounds themselves, but if the procedure was violated. If the Assembly followed the law to the letter, the courts will not interfere.

Stay tuned for the next steps by the Kericho County Assembly. And if you need popcorns, just give me a call. I know a reliable supplier.

Trouble for DAP-K Candidate Seth Panyako in Malava By-election as Legal Dispute Threatens His Bid

0

The Malava constituency by-election has entered stormy waters after the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) candidate Seth Panyako faced a legal challenge that could force him out of the race.

Lawyer Challenges Seth Panyako’s Eligibility


According to a letter shared by lawyers representing fellow candidate Burudi, Panyako allegedly violated the Constitution by failing to resign from his government post before seeking elective office. Panyako currently serves as a board member of the Local Authorities Provident Fund (LAPF), a state agency.

Lawyer Munene, acting for Mr. Caleb Burudi, argued that Article 77 of the Constitution and relevant electoral laws prohibit public officers from contesting elections unless they first resign from government positions.

“Our client believes Mr. Panyako’s candidacy is unconstitutional. He should be disqualified from the Malava by-election,” the letter stated.

Possible Disqualification Could Shift Political Landscape


If the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) upholds the objection, Panyako’s exit would significantly alter the race. Analysts note that Panyako was the only serious challenger to Edgar Busiega of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).

Recent polls suggest Busiega could now secure up to 82 percent of the vote in Malava constituency if Panyako is struck off the ballot.

Edgar Busiega Gains Momentum

Busiega, a respected lawyer, has been on a vigorous campaign trail in Malava. His promises include youth empowerment, agricultural support, and improved education facilities. Backed by former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malalah, Busiega has seen growing crowds and rising popularity.

“Malava has found its leader. Edgar Busiega has a super manifesto that addresses the needs of the people,” Malalah declared at a weekend rally.

Pressure on Eugene Wamalwa to Back Busiega

Attention has now shifted to Eugene Wamalwa, DAP-K party leader and former Defence Cabinet Secretary. With Panyako’s candidacy facing disqualification, Wamalwa is under pressure to rally behind Busiega.

Political observers believe that supporting Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s preferred candidate would demonstrate Wamalwa’s willingness to make sacrifices for the broader opposition team.

Uncertain Road Ahead

The Malava by-election, initially expected to be a fierce contest between Panyako and Busiega, has now been thrown into uncertainty. The IEBC will ultimately decide whether Seth Panyako remains on the ballot.

For now, the spotlight remains on Malava constituency, where residents are closely watching developments that could determine who represents them in Parliament

We want to go to the elections Prepared well and it will not be right to have divisions at the moment.
