Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has responded to queries by Kenyans on social media on why he did not testify against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in the Senate.
Through his X account, the governor expressed that it was all over for the DP likening it to a vehicle that was downhill.
Therefore, he explained that there was no need to push a vehicle that was already going downhill.
"Hakuna haja ya kuskuma gari kwa mteremko. c'est fini," Sakaja responded. Loosely translated to "There is no need to push a car that is downhill. It is over."

Sakaja was to testify against Gachagua and had filed an affidavit against the DP over some of his actions and remarks.
In his affidavit, the Nairobi county boss accused the DP of interfering with the running of the county government and policies adopted by his administration.
The embattled DP is also alleged to have propagated ethnic division within the county through his speeches.
"His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua had previously interfered with the Nairobi City County Government's management of traffic within the city, especially the relocation of matatu terminals, through ethnic incitement," read the affidavit in part
"I earnestly believe that His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua's inciteful and demeaning public statements and conduct are impeachable offences to the extent that they undermine devolution, undercut the functional and institutional integrity of county governments and unjustifiably vilify and ridicule the leadership of county governments, especially the Nairobi City County Government."
