Sakaja: "One of the goons who burnt City Hall works at an MP's office"

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja now claims that an individual seen setting City Hall on fire works in the office of a Member of Parliament (MP).

During his address to the media, Sakaja insisted that the identity of the MP and his assistant should be revealed so that legal action can be taken accordingly.

Additionally, Sakaja refuted allegations that he facilitated the infiltration of goons into the Gen Z demonstrations on Tuesday.

He clarified that he was out of town (in Coast with his cabinet) during the time of the incident, distancing himself from any involvement in such activities.

Asserting his commitment to clean politics (“Siasa safi”), Sakaja suggested that his political rivals may be responsible for spreading these accusations.

Regarding a separate matter, Sakaja mentioned that he received a request for Uhuru Park to be made available for a Gen Z event honouring their deceased comrades.

He confirmed that he would grant this request and expressed his intention to attend the event when it takes place.
