"Kenyans Are With Me" Gachagua Hints At Being In Ballot In 2027 Despite Impeachment

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has ordered Inspector General of Police (IG) Douglas Kanja to explain why no action has been taken against Nairobi County officials who dumped garbage at Kenya Power’s Stima Plaza headquarters.

Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, Wetang’ula described the incident as a criminal act that should not go unpunished. 

He warned against using illegal methods to settle disputes.

"We cannot allow this country to turn into a lawless place where people send goons to solve disagreements. 

That is not Kenya, and it must stop," he declared.

He then directed the Committee on Administration and National Security to summon IG Kanja for questioning.

The dispute between Nairobi County and Kenya Power started on Monday when sewage and garbage were dumped outside Stima Plaza. 

Reports indicate that this was in response to Kenya Power disconnecting electricity in several county offices over an unpaid bill of Ksh3.1 billion.

During the debate in Parliament, Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah insisted that those responsible for the garbage dumping should be held accountable.

"I ask the Inspector General to ensure action is taken against the individuals who carried out this act. 

Business owners affected by this mess should also sue the county government for their losses," Ichung’wah stated.

Several businesses near Stima Plaza suffered because of the waste, with restaurant owners saying they lost customers due to the unbearable smell.

After days of tension, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja announced on Wednesday that the dispute had been resolved. 

He spoke after a meeting with Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi and other government officials.

"We had a productive meeting and reached several agreements. A joint statement will be released to clarify everything," Sakaja explained.

He added that all hostilities had to end, and the county government had already taken steps to restore normalcy.

"We have instructed the relevant teams to remove the garbage and ensure that services such as water supply continue as usual," the governor assured.

Despite the truce, Wetang’ula maintained that legal action must be taken against those who broke the law.

"We will summon the Inspector General next week. This case involves multiple violations, including environmental laws, health laws, and the Penal Code. We must ensure that justice is served," he said.

The IG is expected to appear before Parliament next week to give an official response on the matter.
