Unbelievable! Sonko Changes History by Doing What No Kenyan Politician Has Done Before

Nairobi has been rife with rumors that Sonko’s acts of helping hawkers get fair treatment from Country Askaris was politically motivated. That he was only helping them so as to secure a ‘big seat’ come 2017.However Sonko has come out to deny the allegations terming them as ‘wild, baseless and malicious.’

He went on to refute them by saying that “I wish to categorically dismiss such uncalled for allegations and that I cannot and shall not play politics with the lives and future of Nairobi vendors, Nairobi residents and Kenyans at large. This is not time to play politics, this is time to deliver on the election pledges we gave to the electorate. I vividly remember top of my campaign agenda was to address the hawkers menace. I cannot play politics when the people I swore to protect are being butchered like animals. It’s my constitutional mandate to protect the lives and interests of my people. I would also wish to dismiss those speculating that I am preparing grounds to contest either the Machakos, Mombasa, Kilifi or Kwale gubernatorial seat in 2017 as cheap propaganda meant to divert attention from real issues affecting the people of Nairobi. I wish to assure my supporters and Nairobi residents in general that I have no intention to relocate my political base from Nairobi.”

He then reveled that he would be going for a political seat come next year, but he would not vie for the Presidency or Deputy Presidency. Kenyans will dictate which seat he vies for, be it the governor, senator or M.P. seat he would do what his people wanted. Something that we have never seen in the Kenyan Political scene

“As to which seat I will go for in 2017, I will leave it to my supporters and the Great people of Nairobi to decide whether to defend my Senatorial seat, go for governor, MP or MCA and I swear to respect their wise decision. One thing I am sure of is that I will not vie for the Presidency or Deputy Presidency.” He stated.
