The governor had been summoned to explain the progress and challenges affecting Nairobi’s Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) centers but cancelled his attendance at the last minute.
Lawmakers described Sakaja’s no-show as disrespectful and a disregard of the Senate’s constitutional oversight role.
“It is high time we implement the Standing Orders of the Senate and enforce the fine, which should be paid from his personal capacity,” Nominated Senator Agnes Kavindu remarked.
Kajiado Senator Seki Ole Kanar echoed the sentiment, saying, “Unfortunately, this is not a surprise to me that he has snubbed the Committee. It is now upon the Senate to take the rightful legal action against the Governor.”
Nominated Senator Margaret Kamar stressed that the summons were about accountability and transparency, while Laikipia Senator Joseph Kinyua added that the Constitution gives the committee full authority to summon the governor.
The senators underscored Nairobi’s central role in shaping education benchmarks for other counties and insisted that Governor Sakaja must appear before the committee to account for budget allocations, staffing, infrastructure, and the overall state of ECDE and TVET centers.
