Running a county with a major city is a massive responsibility. Kudos to Sakaja for clear vision and execution. He also appears well versed with what is happening out there including embracing Amazon leadership principles. One year is very short to see any significant change but it’s visible steps are being taken in the right direction.

I support you governor

[@kenmaina2008]

I just feel like Nairobi should never have been made a county, the capital needs consistency and continuity. So it should be a central government run department. Coz I feel like there are tough decisions that need to be made that a politician cannot make because of political expediency. While I don't necessarily support the guy, he says the right things, I just hope to see great improvement during his tenure, that it would not be just PR all talk and nothing to show.

[@victoriasevens]

I watch this video and the governor seems to be on toes, however there are some accusations currently on going against the governor that he needs to clear up, such as avoiding senate meetings for accountability audit. I think if the governor truly means what he says, that it's not about being afraid to be misunderstood but doing the right thing then he needs to respond to this invites to build our confidence in him. Lastly, the governor needs to settle things with his senator, and clear whatever bad blood between them. From my perspective the senator just like the governor is very committed to working for Kenyans.

[@1on1withjune81]

We need to see actions not just the same speech he used when campaigning. In the slums the parents can't afford to pay 5 kshillings to eat leave along to do anything else.

[@franciskarumba5353]

The governor is doing a good some of his officers are letting him down. Please look at the issue of bar licensing in residential areas. Kamulu is most affected where bars pop up in the middle of residential areas and drunkards urinating on pedestrian pathways. These bar owners are taking over the small road reserves and turning them into canopies and parking. The residents cannot get to their houses. We need salvation and rescue from these unscrupulous business men/women.

Someone tell him to go to Kileleshwa and see the endless potholes on Hamisi Road, Makueni Road, Suguta Road, Othaya Road, Mugoiri Road and Mazeras Roads among others, all in Kileleshwa. Or Kileleshwa is not in Nairobi. How about the water problem in Kileleshwa and all over Nairobi? Or water is no longer a very basic commodity? There are more water tankers selling dirty water to Nairobi Estates more than ever before, why? Sakaja is just another of those loud mouth and braggers in UDA.
