Mike Sonko Downplays Kenyan Daily Post’s Insults

Recently, the Kenyan Daily Post published a rather offensive article from one of its readers addressed to the Nairobi Senator-elect, Gideon Mbuvi AKA Mike Sonko. According to the post, Sonko was not carrying out his duties as expected by the electorates.

The writer of the letter questioned why the Senator-elect always hanged around the president-elect and his deputy, in his words like “like a housefly following some feaces”. “I know he is your friend, lakini what value are you adding every time standing behind him like his aide? Why follow him to Coast whereas we elected you to work in nairobi? We understand makwere’s presence, lakini wewe unafanya nini? Unaharibia president na deputy wake jina. U are creating a bad impression that you are the closest to the two and is out to control them for your selfish interests, especially going by your not-so-good history. Uhuru and ruto are already working. When will you start working? Go back to Nairobi and start your work. Kazi yako iko nairobi. And, for the umpteenth time, stop following these guys. Kubaff.” read the letter in part.

Last evening, the flamboyant politician toned down as he responded to the letter. Here is his response;

“I would wish to respond to Kenyan Daily Post for abusing me. If you have been keen enough during the campaign period i concentrated so much with Presidential campaign and i did little about myself.I wish you questioned me why i didn’t concentrate campaigning for myself in Nairobi that Time.
I’m a leader to all Kenyans and as a senator i will not only concentrate with Nairobians but to all Kenyans in this country. Don’t forget i have not been sworn in as a Senator. Please stop judging me before i have entered even into senatorial office .But i appreciate your observation but resist that abusive language…” The thing is this whoever who owns the Kenya Daily post, Presidents and even President Elects choose who should be around them, by choosing Sonko the statement goes beyond Sonko the person, he represents something that even political analysts do not understand he appealed to youths across tribes without a single campaign, The President Elect is simply saying “It is not your dressing, or how people view you your bling or your stud, it’s your value, your social intelligence and your ability to perform that will count”
