Karauri Criticizes Sakaja's Party Switch

Kasarani MP Ronald Karauri has criticized Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja's decision to defect from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

According to Karauri, Sakaja's performance as governor will not be improved by a party switch. Karauri cited several challenges facing the city, including building collapses, flooding, and garbage accumulation, which he claims Sakaja has failed to address.
