Despite being in the minority in the county assembly, Sakaja said his administration has managed to function effectively.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMany were skeptical about my decision to work with the opposition, but it\u2019s now clear that we have a national government of inclusivity that will deliver. We fully support that,\u201d<\/em> Sakaja said.<\/p>\n<p>Several Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), including Umoja MCA Mark Ronaldo, echoed the Governor\u2019s sentiments and urged the executive to prioritize service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Korogocho MCA Absalom Odhiambo, an Azimio coalition member, stated, \u201cThis is not Meru County; we will not impeach our Governor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo added, \u201cBefore considering impeachment, we should address any underperformance within the executive.
