Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has opened up on why he no longer operates from his designated office based at City Hall.
Sonko has been running Nairobi County from his rural home in Mua Hills, Machakos County for the past few months, a move that has not been taken well by city leaders led by Members of the County Assembly (MCAs).
The flamboyant Governor now says that his office at City Hall in Nairobi is ‘dirty’ and not safe for him. He said he will only work from there if the place is cleaned.
“I have got my own reasons why sometimes I don’t go to my office. If there are bills to be assented to, I just come to the speaker’s office and I sign. I go to the office of Majority leader and I sign or to one of my CEC’s offices and I sign,” Sonko said as quoted by The Star.
He added: “I know the dirtiness in my office. I have to deal with this first and clean all the seats, pour out water in the refrigerator, clean the cups before I go back. Otherwise I can go there and by just biting my nail, I collapse and die.”
Sonko’s claims come days after Ward Representatives gave him 14 days to return to the City Hall office. They threatened to impeach him if he continues to run Nairobi from another County but Sonko has dared them to go ahead with the plans.
“When I had a problem with some officers of the national government, they are the people who came for me in Mua. So they cannot tell me not to operate from Mua yet they are the people who came for me there,” he said.
Is your office dirty than…
Is your office dirty than how you plus other druglords make your customers to rotten cabbages after selling them drugs?Does jail escapee Sonko remember he would be servinhg 30 years in jail had it not been for corruption and MONKEY/GORILLA politics of this SITHOLE country?
I predicted sometime back…
I predicted sometime back that Sonko will leave his wife or son to run the governor’s office when he travels abroad. Well, it hasn’t happened yet but it will before the end of his term. Sonko’s style of leadership and that of late Idi Amin of Uganda mirrors each other. Both men had rudimentary education and Sonko, like Idi Amin, is a dictator. Nairobi is getting what it paid for
Mmh, paranoia. Comes with…
Mmh, paranoia. Comes with the position as a side dish to flavor up the prestige.
This antics is what you get…
This antics is what you get when you give a boy a man’s job. The whole assembly is now begging him to come back from home. And this is important to him because all he needs is attention. He didn’t become Governor to do great things to up-lift Nairobi, he ran for governor because it was fun and with his tons of money our people would erect him in a heartbeat regardless of how he got the money in the first place. Mwananchi will erect a dog for any leadership office if it comes with baskets full of money-essentially, you get what you paid for. Sonko will keep manufacturing crisis- a storm in a tea cup just for attention and because he doesn’t know what else to do. You guys had viable candidates for governor but you wanted a guy flashing money, flashing expensive vehicles behaving like an idiot and so, have fun.
Wafula Chebukati wa IEBC: …
Wafula Chebukati wa IEBC: Kwa nini ulisema mtu kama Sonko anafaa kugombea kitu cha uongozi wa Umma? Nakulaumu kwa kutupatia watu wasiofaa kugombea kiti cha uongozi wa taifa letu?
Je, ulipewa shilingi ngapi ili useme watu wasiofaa wanafaa kugombea kiti chochote katika taifa letu?
Yafaa Sonko aondolewe kazini mara moja. Hafai kuwa kiongozi hata wa “viroboto.”
Hi Sonko,
How clean was…
Hi Sonko,
How clean was Shimo La Tewa Prison before you escaped?
How clean is the narcotics that you sell?
Just curious.

Kwa nini…
Ndugu @Bill Samoei:
Kwa nini Ndugu Sonko hajafikishwa mahakmani na huku uvumi umeenea kila mahali ya kwamba, yeye na Ndugu yake Hassan Joho wanauza madawa ya kulevya!
Wafula Chebukati: Kwa nini uliwakubali “watu wanaouza madawa ya kulevya” kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi?
