Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja has seemingly withdrawn his testimony against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in his impeachment motion.
Sakaja, a key witness of the National Assembly, was expected to provide crucial insights into Gachagua’s alleged gross misconduct.
In an affidavit, the Nairobi boss accused the DP of opposing the relocation of traders from Nairobi’s Wakulima Market to Kangundo Road Market.
He claims that on Friday, September 20, Gachagua unlawfully interfered with the running of the Nairobi County government by holding a rally and inciting citizens against lawful directives related to market management and planning.
However, TUKIO.co.ke has learned that Sakaja has flown to North America, where he is attending a high-profile event in Mexico.
Sakaja is gracing the prestigious Bloomberg CityLab, a global summit organised by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
During the summit, Sakaja highlighted how Nairobi is tackling its urban challenges.
