“The speaker of the Nairobi City County Assembly and the clerk have run away from office so as not to receive the impeachment motion of Governor Sakaja,” Alai said.
The remarks come at a time of heightened political tension within the Nairobi County Assembly, with reports of efforts by some MCAs to table a motion aimed at removing the governor from office.
However, there has been no official communication from the Assembly leadership confirming the claims made by Alai.
Alai did not provide further details on the whereabouts of the Speaker and the Clerk, nor did he indicate whether any formal attempts had been made to serve the impeachment motion through alternative channels.
Under normal Assembly procedures, such a motion must be formally received and processed by the Clerk before it can be tabled for debate.
The Speaker also plays a key role in guiding the House on procedural matters once the motion is admitted.
The absence of the two officials, if confirmed, could potentially delay the process, raising concerns over adherence to established procedures and timelines.
It remains unclear whether other Assembly officials have been designated to receive official documents in their absence.
Efforts to reach the Speaker and the Clerk for comment were not immediately successful, and it was not possible to independently verify Alai’s claims at the time of publication.
