Nairobi County Assembly Speaker Beatrice Elachi has resigned as Nairobi County Assembly speaker.
Her Deputy and Ruai MCA John Kamangu has taken over in an acting capacity.
While tendering her resignation this morning, Elachi said that she was moving on to a new season in her political career and journey.
She also noted that she was going back to her Dagoretti North constituents. Is this her next target? Will she battle out Simba Arati in 2022 general elections?
Well, whilst she maintains that she is going back to her constituents, Elachi is most likely to be appointed for another post in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.
Ever since President Kenyatta formed the Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) and Director General Mohamed Badi, Elachi has been supportive, even as governor Mike Sonko and his allied MCAs tried to fight Badi.
While resigning, Elachi thanked President Kenyatta for giving her the opportunity to serve Nairobi for the last three years and said she hoped to serve in his administration in any other capacity in the near future.
Well, does this indicate that she is aware of an appointment awaiting her in the near future?
Well, she asked the assembly to stand firm and support Nairobi Metropolitan Services Director-General Mohammed Badi in transforming the capital.
“That is the critical agenda..the legacy for our President and I believe he would be proud to see us support him. If I ever did wrong, within the duties I was given, I ask for forgiveness,” she said.
