Mike Sonko Gives Emotional Tribute To His Late Mother And Shares His Photo As A Child

In his post, Sonko starts off by paying tribute to the fallen Kenyans who were killed in Mandera last night and those killed two weeks ago in the same region.

Sonko laments that in a span of two weeks Al-Shabaab insurgents have managed to kill more than 60 innocent Kenyans in Mandera, despite warnings from Al-Shabaab.

He then goes on to table a very emotional tribute to his late mother who passed away 17 years ago, leaving him as a very young boy who could not do anything for himself.

Sonko admits that it hurts him to remember his late mother, and feels the pain the other Kenyans are going through after their next of kin were brutally murdered in Mandera and other places.

He then shares a photo of himself as a kid with his mother, the late Saumu Mukami Mbuvi.

Here is the tribute and the photos:

“Just the other day we lost 28 innocent hard working Kenyans who had aspirations and ambitions, now we have lost another allegedly 36 people in Mandera.. Probably you may not feel the pain because your close friend or relative has not been affected, but as long as they are Kenyans, they are our brothers and sisters.its a Double tragedy for me On 2/12/1997 I lost my dear Mum Saumu Mukami Mbuvi. I lost my mum when i was a very young boy. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. We will miss you and love you always.You are missed every hour of every day.Your love will light our way. Your memory will forever be with us. I probably wouldn’t be where i am were it not for the sacrifices that she made. She might be gone physically but spiritually she will always live in my heart.God be with you till we Meet Again Mama, I love you”
