Fresh Twist As Igathe Tells Court His Resignation Was Not Formalised

Fresh Twist As Igathe Tells Court His Resignation Was Not Formalised The intrigues surrounding þhe governorship of the capital Nairobi has taken another twist after former Deputy Governor Polycarp Igathe asked the court to determine whether his resignation was formalised. In an affidavit dated January 12 and made available on Wednesday, Igathe says he was not aware if legal steps to formalise his resignation were conducted. Noting that he formally tendered his resignation letter on January 12, 2018, Igathe said neither then Governor Mike Sonko nor the Speaker of the assembly acknowledged his letter. “The legal effect of the failure to formalise or recognise my resignation and the failure by Nairobi County or any public institution to conduct any legal formalities to conclude my resignation is a matter to be determined by the court,” he said.

Why race to replace Sonko may be longer than expected

THE STANDARD By Standard Team | January 8th 2021 at 00:00:00 GMT +0300 Ann Kananu Mwenda, nominee for the position of Deputy Governor. A court in Nairobi yesterday agreed to a withdrawal of the main case stopping the vetting of nominee for Nairobi deputy governor s post and refused to admit a fresh petition by ousted Governor Mike Sonko objecting to his nominee. In the move that now clears way for Ann Kananu to be vetted by Nairobi County Assembly, Justice Hedwig Ong’udi withdrew the original case by Peter Agoro while also dismissing a last-minute case by Sonko to block her from assuming office.

Here are the big names lining up to replace impeached Governor Sonko

Former Starehe MP Margaret Wanjiru, 2013 presidential candidate Peter Kenneth and Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) national secretariat co-chairman Dennis Waweru are among the politicians said to be eyeing the seat. Businesswoman Agnes Kagure, former Nairobi City Council Clerk Philip Kisia and former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo are also interested in the coveted position. Other politicians mentioned are Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja and Mr Nickson Kiprotich, who sources said is Deputy President William Ruto’s preferred choice. According to those with knowledge of the behind-the-scenes manoeuvring, there are those who think that, given the performance of Nairobi Metropolitan Services Director-General Mohamed Badi, a technocrat would be best-placed to lead the capital city.
