The tumultuous series of events that led to the ouster of former governors Ferdinand Waititu of Kiambu County and Gideon Mbuvi Sonko of Nairobi County, elected on a Jubilee ticket, left a mark on Kenya’s political landscape.
These accusations were not just routine incidents, but were characterized by accusations, political maneuvering and strategic calculations that sent shockwaves through the country.
Former Kiambu County Governor Ferdinand Waititu was at the center of allegations that later led to his downfall. He was accused of abuse of office, gross misconduct and corruption. He was later impeached by the Kiambu County Assembly with the help of the Senate
In Nairobi County, Gideon Mbuvi Sonko faced similar problems. The reasons for his removal were equally important, as the charges included tenure, crimes committed under state law, and doubts about his mental capacity to effectively manage the affairs of the district.
Amid the curiosity surrounding these allegations, the Minister of Roads and Transport, Kipchumba Murkomen, offered a unique perspective that reveals the motives behind these important political actions.
Murkomen claimed that there was more surveillance and targeting of those linked to then Deputy President William Ruto.
Murkomen’s claims added to the story of the impeachment of Waititu and Sonko. Murkomen claims that President Uhuru was advised to remove Waititu and Sonko from their positions because they thought they were mobilisers of the country and aligning with Ruto would have possible consequences that would certainly not favor Uhuru. Basically, according to Murkomen, the resignation processes of former governors Waititu and Sonko were more than just judicial proceedings. They symbolize how political influence, loyalty and intelligent design work together.
