Nairobi - Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president Nelson Havi has challenged Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai to table an impeachment motion against Governor Johnson Sakaja.
On Thursday, August 29, Alai accused a group of lawyers of colluding with governors to loot counties.
The outspoken Kileleshwa MCA shared a letter from Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o showing how Sakaja's administration paid KSh 1,345,440,849 in legal fees to around 19 law firms.

"Kenyans, nobody is looting this country and more so the counties more than a clique of popular lawyers whose practice doesn’t involve anything more than signing a document.
"Nairobi City County can’t provide any meaningful service to residents because there is a cabal of corrupt lawyers out there looting the county with the governor as long as they can give 50% of the loot to the governor," Alai claimed.
In response, Havi wondered why Nairobi MCAs had not initiated an impeachment motion against Sakaja if they had proof of corrupt practices in the county.
While criticising Alai, Havi accused Nairobi MCAs of lacking principles and being financially driven, urging them to initiate the governor's impeachment.
"What stops you from initiating the impeachment of the governor? You cannot be taking breakfast in ODM, lunch in UDA and dinner in Jubilee. That is the problem we have with you, Nairobi City County MCAs: financially elastic and intellectually impecunious," Havi said.
Elsewhere, lawyer Makau Mutua and Alai had a nasty exchange regarding Sakaja's leadership style on X.
On Tuesday, April 23, the Azimio la Umoja spokesperson accused Alai and other elected ward representatives of being part of the mess in City Hall.
Alai refuted Mutua's claims, insisting that his main objective was to defend Nairobi residents.
However, Mutua dared the Kileleshwa MCA to initiate an impeachment motion against Sakaja to prove that he was not part of the problems facing Nairobians.
