Ex-Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko
Details have leaked of how the government might impose a handshake candidate in Nairobi next year to replace former Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko.

“As we usher this festive season to celebrate the birth of Jesus I wish to encourage you all to extend your generosity & kindness to your neighbours & community. As Mother Teresa once said, “It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.” Mungu awabariki nyote,” Sonko shared a video wearing Santa Clause attire and distributing food.
