Nairobi will soon have a Deputy Governor.
This is after the IEBC Nairobi County returning officer Joseph Eroo cleared Nairobi County Deputy Governor nominee Anne Kananu Mwenda on Monday evening.
Sonko named her as his deputy last month.
Her name has been forwarded to the County Assembly for vetting before appointment.
The move by IEBC has silenced some of Sonko’s critics who have been praying for his downfall.
Speaking to Hot News, a City MCA who requested anonymity said they will hasten the process of vetting Anne Mwenda.
“There has been pressure from some people that we impeach the Governor. We are not going to do that since we find nothing wrong with him. We will hasten the vetting process because the County needs a deputy,” said the rep.
Before her appointment, Kananu was the Chief officer for Disaster management in the County.
