Even before Mike Sonko met his Waterloo at the Senate in December last year, his legacy as governor of Nairobi was in a free-fall.
Official data shows that the flamboyant politician, who was impeached on allegations of abuse of office, had one of the worst development records in his last financial year at the helm of City Hall.
The percentage of cash the capital city absorbed in the 12 months to June 2020 for projects that would generate cash was the lowest among the 47 counties.

Governors Charity Ngilu (Kitui), Martin Wambora (Embu) and Dhadho Godhana (Tana River) will today battle it out for a chance to chair the Council of Governors (CoG).
County bosses are seeking to replace Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya who has served his maximum two terms.
The governors will also be electing CoG vice chair, whip and 12 committee chairs after the term of the current team lapsed.
Mrs Ngilu will be the second woman to run for the post after Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru failed to secure it last time as she was prevailed upon by her male colleagues to step down in favour of Mr Oparanya.
