“Four months after elections and the Governor is overdoing boardroom meetings. nothing is happening on the ground yet our people need services,” he said.

Kiragu challenged Sakaja to emulate President William Ruto and other Governors who are busy launching and inspecting projects with minimal boardroom meetings.

"Governor should wake up and realize Nairobi residents want to see projects being launched and services brought closer to their houses. Sakaja should wake up and get to work," he said.

The remarks come a few days after Governor Sakaja released his 100 days scorecard.

Also at the same, Sakaja is leading a one-week induction session with his cabinet and chief officers in Naivasha.

The minority leader has been accusing the Governor of disrespecting Deputy president Rigathi Gachagua.
