Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja is on the spot after UDA MCAs accused him of sidelining them when making City appointments.
Secondly,the MCAs are accusing Sakaja of appointing Azimio Alliance allied persons to key county portfolios.
They are accusing the UDA Governor of favoring the Azimio side.
Led by Minority Leader Anthony Kiragu, the MCAs boycotted a special sitting which was to approve Governor Sakaja’s 33 Chief Officer nominees.
“The Governor used the UDA flag while seeking this seat but we can see he has sidelined us,
“We want to tell him that this afternoon we will not participate in the approval of his Chief Offers and he can have them approved by Azimio,” Kiragu said.

The MCAs are opposing the appointment of Lucky Ogutu Okudo as Chief Officer for ICT and Energy.
“We all saw what went down at Bomas and the said nominee was pictured pick-pocketing and behaving like a goon.
“That’s not the kind of a leader that Nairobi residents want,” Kiragu stated.
“As Kenya Kwanza we cannot not participate in an illegality, and Ogutu cannot be the face of Nairobi,” said Minority Whip Macharia Mugambi.
The Governor’s cabinet has Azimio allied persons.
Sakaja is however defending his move saying he was elected by both Azimio and Kenya Kwanza supporters.
According to Sakaja, his appointments reflect the face of the city.
