Sakaja wrote to  Lusaka requesting him to urgently call for a special sitting of the senate to discuss the exceptional leadership situation in Nairobi.

Sakaja’s request is informed by the stringent bail terms given to Sonko that include not accessing his city hall office for the entire time of his trial.

In the letter, Sajaka says, quote, “ seeing that Nairobi does not have a deputy governor as is the case of Kimabu county where a similar direction has been given, serious concerns and questions have arisen as to how the county will be run in the interim period.”
