Governor Johnson Sakaja, once seen as a beacon of hope for Nairobi, is now facing serious questions about his leadership and the decisions he is making.
The recent allegations surrounding the cremation of unidentified bodies at Kariokor have sparked outrage among the people of Nairobi, thanks to activist and blogger Maverick Aoko, who brought this issue to light on her X page.
Maverick Aoko has been vocal, asking, “Sakaja, on whose orders are you cremating abducted comrades at Kariokor?” This question cuts deep, as it suggests that the governor may be acting under external influence rather than in the best interest of the people he swore to serve.
The public is demanding answers, and the silence from his office is only fueling the fire.
Maverick Aoko’s posts have highlighted a disturbing pattern. She points out that bodies of those who have been abducted or killed under mysterious circumstances are being taken to City Mortuary, only to be cremated without proper identification or public acknowledgment.
“Wale mumeua and we make noise, mnarusha City Mortuary,” she writes, emphasizing the lack of transparency in how these cases are being handled.
The fact that these individuals are being cremated without their names being known raises serious ethical and legal concerns. Are these actions being taken to cover up something more sinister?
The people of Nairobi deserve to know. The activist’s questions go further, challenging Sakaja’s loyalty. “Are you the Governor of Nairobi or of State House?” she asks, implying that Sakaja may be prioritizing the interests of those in power over the needs of the ordinary citizens who elected him.
This is a heavy accusation, but one that resonates with many Nairobians who feel neglected and betrayed by their leadership. Maverick Aoko’s words have struck a chord, especially when she calls on the hustlers the everyday people to take notice. “Hustlers, oneni kitu tulipeleka City Hall,” she urges, reminding them of the promises made during campaigns and the reality they are now facing.
The term “Cursed Gei” used by Maverick Aoko in her posts adds a layer of frustration and despair to her message.
It reflects the growing sentiment among Nairobians that their city is being mismanaged and that their governor is failing to address critical issues.
The cremation of unidentified bodies is just one example of the many problems plaguing Nairobi, and it has become a symbol of the larger failures in leadership. Maverick Aoko’s relentless questioning and her ability to rally public opinion have put Governor Sakaja in a difficult position.
His reputation, once shining, is now being tarnished by these allegations and the lack of clear answers.
As the outcry grows louder, it is clear that the people of Nairobi are no longer willing to accept empty promises or unexplained actions. Maverick Aoko’s efforts to expose these issues have ignited a conversation that cannot be ignored.
Governor Sakaja must address these allegations head-on, provide transparency, and prove that he is truly working for the people of Nairobi.
If he fails to do so, the trust between him and the citizens he serves will continue to erode, and his legacy as a leader will be forever marred by these troubling accusations.
