A section of Nairobi Members of the County Assembly have come out to rubbish threats of impeaching Governor Johnson Sakaja.
The MCA’s have termed the threats by Nyeri Senator Wahome Wamatinga as premature and unjustified.
Nairobi County Assembly Minority Whip Mark Mugambi said it is too early to start thinking about impeaching Sakaja.
Mugambi said the Governor hasn’t done anything gross to warrant his removal from office.
The Umoja One MCA however said the Governor still has time to fix his relationship with the MCAs and the UDA party.
“We haven’t reached that stage yet”.
“What I will advise the Governor is to mend his relationship with his party hierarchy since it’s the same party that sponsored his candidature,” he added.
Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai also dismissed the impeachment threats.
Alai told the Nyeri Senator that the Capital City cannot be lead with the mindset of a village.
According to Alai, Nairobi is a cosmopolitan county and ethnic politics can’t see the light of the day.
“Nairobi City County is really progressing and we haven’t seen much wrong with Sakaja.
“Unless something drastic changes, as Azimio we haven’t found a reason to dream of removing Governor Sakaja. He is doing fine,” Alai said.

On Monday,the Nyeri Senator threatened that the ruling UDA party may resolve to impeach him if he continues to disrespect Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Sakaja and Gachagua have disagreed on the move to relocate long distance public service vehicles from the Central Business District to the new green park terminus.
Gachagua has insisted that the move will disrupt transport businesses and called for consultations.
Sakaja on the other hand has maintained that the relocation is for the good of all City residents and that no particular group is targeted.
Kenya Kwanza MCAs who are the minority at the Assembly last month accused Governor Sakaja who was elected on a UDA ticket of sidelining them and instead favoring the Azimio side.
This was after he appointed persons allied to the rival Azimio Alliance to key county portfolios.
The Nairobi Governor has however said that he does not have any problem with the Deputy President and that he respects him as his boss.
A section of MPs from Western Kenya have also threatened to file a motion of impeachment against Gachagua if he continues to attack Sakaja.
