On August 25, 2022, Johnson Sakaja took his oath of office at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) thus making him the fourth governor of Nairobi City County. 

During the inauguration, Sakaja was accompanied by close family members, friends, and colleagues in the political field.

As the inauguration was ongoing, Kenyans were thrilled by Sakaja’s daughter who seemed to have fun with some of the VIP guests including former Governor Anne Kananu and President-elect William Ruto.

The young girl was bubbly and had lots of fun with some of the VIP guests including former Governor Anne Kananu and President-elect William Ruto.

“My daughter is just like my mum. She is really enjoying...dancing. One day she will watch this," Sakaja said.

For many Kenyans, this was the first time they saw the girl. In previous videos and social media posts by Sakaja, only his two sons have been prominently featured.
