The country does not need elected deputy governors. Residents should only vote for governor who then picks a deputy from among the county executives, a deputy he can hire and fire at will for smooth county operations. From past experiences in machakos and embu and now nairobi, deputy governors can be a pain in the a$$, as they try to fight/outshine/blackmail their bosses.

Also it is deeply offending for someone to work so hard to be elected governor, then you tell him to concentrate on politics and leave the running of the county to his deputy, eti coz he (the governor) is incompetent to run his county.

Igathes resignation is the best thing to happen to nairobi coz wanainchi chose sonko to run the county and now sonko is free to deliver what he promised without having to consult third parties.


Even at the national level instead of ohuru freely serving the wanainchi who elected him he is made to prioritize pleasing his deputy (and his people), to the extent that he cant name his cabinet without consulting the deputy and even after such consultations he has to surrender 50% of govt to the deputy. This deputy manenos must be revisited both at county and national levels.

That would be a very useless ministry & would just waste public funds. Jubilee at its best.

Those two documents set out the plan and strategy for solving most of Nairobi's problems but no one bothers to read them. Let us now allow Sonko build his ghetto metropolis...jubilee at its best.


Nairobi metropolitan encompasses the counties of Nairobi Kiambu Machakos and Kajiado. You think all those countiescan cease to exist?

Like it or not Nairobi County is here to stay. With Sonko running it alone. The lacunae in law may not allow him to appoint an assistant formally


Sonko cannot appoint his deputy. It's an elective post not appointment. Only Nairobians can elect the deputy, period.
As for Nairobi Metropolitan, it cannot exist. That would be against the constitution in regards to devolution. No governor can agree plus the court would throw it out of the window asubuhi na mapema. We're stuck with Sonko solo for atleast 2 years, the time it would take to enact and pass that law. The best option that I'm sure the president and his people are working at, is to get Sonko to reject Igathe's resignation and give him what he wants before Jan 31st.



I dont think that's correct

the ag already has a bill that provides for the governor to appoint a replacement subject to approval by the county assembly. could be passed and enacted pretty fast. however, whether it would be constitutional is another matter altogether.
