IG Douglas Kanja Directed to Produce Johnson Sakaja Before the Senate Committee

The Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) has directed the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, to produce Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and present him before the committee on Monday, March 30.

According to reports, if IG Kanja fails to produce Sakaja within the required timeline, the committee will resolve that Sakaja is unfit to hold public office.

Reports indicate that the resolution will be forwarded to IEBC for its consideration.

“We are asking the IG to produce Governor Sakaja before us on Monday, March 30. The distance between the IG’s office and city hall is not the distance between the IG’s office and Samburu, so the IG should not give us excuses,” the committee stated.

” In case he fails to appear on monday, we can take a recommendation to the house against that governor that we find them in a gross violation of the constitution and therefore not fit to hold public office,” it added.

The committee also fined Sakaja KSh 500,000 for failing to honour a summons from the Senate Committee.

“We propose to impose a fine of Ksh 500,000, the maximum allowed by the law, on governor of Nairobi for failing to honour our summons”

The committee is seeking Sakaja’s response to audit queries for the 2024/2025 financial year.
