Donald Kipkorir has shared explosive documents on X, exposing Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja in what appears to be one of the biggest corruption scandals in recent history.
The documents reveal how Sakaja and his associates allegedly stole Ksh 2.75 billion meant for compensating residents of Embakasi, who were forcibly evicted from land they had occupied for over 30 years. Instead of compensating the victims, the money was funneled into private law firms, with a big portion landing in accounts linked to Sakaja.
This scandal shows the true face of Sakaja’s leadership built on deception, land grabbing, and outright theft. While Nairobi continues to deteriorate under his watch, he has been busy enriching himself and his cronies.
Roads remain impassable, drainage systems are failing, and garbage piles up in estates, yet billions of taxpayers’ money are disappearing into secret bank accounts.
The Embakasi land scandal is not just another case of corruption, it is a direct attack on innocent Kenyans who were thrown out of their homes to pave the way for a fraudulent land deal.
The documents shared by Kipkorir provide a clear money trail. The funds were released in December 2023 and immediately distributed among law firms, some of which withdrew large sums in cash to erase evidence.
Johnson & Partners LLP, a firm linked to Sakaja, received Ksh 1.25 billion, while Sankale & Co Advocates took Ksh 1.5 billion. These firms then wired money to multiple individuals, making it obvious that this was a well-planned looting scheme.
Some of the beneficiaries, including lawyers and political operatives, received amounts as high as Ksh 250 million. The question now is, why is Sakaja still in office? This is not the first time Sakaja has been linked to questionable deals.
His tenure as governor has been riddled with allegations of financial mismanagement, fake promises, and poor governance. Nairobi is falling apart, yet he continues to parade himself as a leader while running the county like a personal business empire.
The people of Nairobi are now demanding accountability, but will the DCI, EACC, and ODPP take action, or will Sakaja use his political connections to escape justice?
The Embakasi land scandal is proof that Sakaja is unfit to lead. If he had any integrity left, he would resign immediately. Nairobians did not elect him to loot public funds and grab land. They deserve better, and this time, they must not allow this scandal to be swept under the rug. The evidence is out, the money trail is clear, and the people are watching.
