Githurai Ward Member of County Assembly (MCA) Deonysias Mwangi Waithira has officially tendered his resignation.
In a letter to the Speaker of the Nairobi City County Assembly on September 17, 2025, he noted that his exit from office will take effect on November 1, 2025.
He further argued that his resignation was not merely a personal decision but a reflection of the growing frustration among Githurai residents, whose voices and concerns had long been ignored.

By stepping down, Mwangi stated that he hoped to shine a spotlight on the failures of the county administration and draw urgent attention to the plight of his ward.
According to Mwangi, weak enforcement of Assembly resolutions and delays in releasing Ward Office funds had crippled service delivery in Githurai.
He highlighted dilapidated roads in Githurai, including the Cifu Road, Rurii Powerline Road, Chiro Road, Mucoe Road, Kweche Road, and Kirogo Road.
He further criticized the County Executive for failing to commence work on the Githurai Sports Ground, despite repeated assurances for more than two years that the project would be prioritized.
Mwangi added that this neglect had been compounded by misrepresentation in official executive reports, which he said painted an inaccurate picture of progress on the ground.
