Nairobi UDA Members of the County Assembly have come to defend Governor Johnson Sakaja on allegations of skipping Senate summons.
The governor was on Thursday fined Sh1 million for allegedly skipping Senate summons.
Speaking to the press on Friday, Minority Whip Mark Mugambi defended the governor saying Sakaja has been attending summons.
"We have seen a political onslaught hoodwinked as oversight on Nairobi County. The Governor and his executive have been attending both senate and county assemblies. This financial year alone, the governor has been to the senate more than 11 times and we are sure he will go there to respond," Mugambi said.
Additionally the MCAs also argued that a lot of the challenges facing Nairobi County were inherited from the past administration, and that Sakaja is capable and willing to address them.
The Senate committee had summoned Sakaja to shed light on the progress of regeneration projects across city estates.
