Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has said investigations against him will not make Nairobi residents miss out on services from his administration.
Sonko is facing corruption accusations and is under probe.
However, he said this will not create any leadership vacuum at City Hall.
He said City residents should not feel burdened by his woes.
Sonko called on leaders in Nairobi to unite and focus on development projects instead of concentrating on speculations and unnecessary tension over the ongoing investigations against him by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
On Saturday, Sonko joined County and National Government officials, and elected leaders in Nairobi to mark the World Clean-Up Day at the Ruai open air market.
He said operations are going on as usual at City Hall.
He called on residents to keep seeking services from the County.
“My focus is on development and l will not want to involve Nairobi residents in my problems if there are any,” Sonko said.
He said he is proud of what his administration has achieved in the last two years, promising to do more this financial year.
“We have done a lot in the roads and transport sector, and our efforts to clean the City have continued to bear fruits,” Sonko said.
He said he will continue supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Big Four agendas by initiating projects that are in line with it.
This, he said, will be achieved by collaborating with different Government agencies.
Sonko promised to ensure a more enhanced working relationship with the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) in cleaning of Nairobi River and waste management in the City.
He said pollution of Nairobi River is largely linked to the City’s building master plan that did not factor in emergency of informal settlements and residential areas that have not been connected to sewer lines.
“A proper upgrade of the master plan will help connect our homes to sewer lines and this is what we have to focus on,” he said.
