Blogger & Activist Roy Ogolla Sets the Record Straight on Claims That He Extorted Ksh2M from Mike Sonko Over the Nude Photos (PART II)
Here the second part of Roy’s response to the allegation that he extorted KSh2M from Nairobi Senator, Mike Sonko;
#FACT 1. Kenn Okaka is my business associate, we, together with others, run a magazine “Intouch Mtaani” together and is the one whoi formally introduced me to Mike Sonko, who gave us 150,000/- to start the magazine project.
#FACT 2. Kenn Okaka has been concerned from the word go on the happenings and has tried to have both me and Sonko sit down and solve this matter coz he (Kenn) believes that we are stronger together.
#FACT 3. In my communication with Kenn Okaka, I have insisted that I would only meet Sonko in the presence of Shebesh, because we are all mutual friends and she is the reason why I got involved in this saga coz I stood to defend her.
#FACT 4. In the communication with Kenn Okaka, at no particular moment have we discussed money, coz whatever I did, was never informed by money.
Therefore, if Kenn Okaka asked Sonko to “prepare 300,00/= for cleaning up the mess”, that was their own arrangement that does not include me coz I was not and have not been part of such deliberation.
It is however interesting to note that the person who came up with the extortion story online is the same Ken Odera, who wrote the story on Kenya Today blog. I wouldn’t want to speculate his intentions but if it has to do with my skipping his interview invites for Radio Jambo, I probably will have to say that it’s extremely immature of him.
The FACTS are clear, the recording are available— The person (s) who tried to get money, whatever the amount, have been arrested- Sonko said so. They were arrested as early as last week. I want to believe that they have been arraigned in court to answer to the charges, which begs the question— If they acted on my behalf, why haven’t I been summoned for questioning or worse still been arraigned in court?
So, as these gossip- I call them gossip coz in all the blogs the story appears, it is under the GOSSIP PANEL– fly by, I want to reiterate my earlier assertions, Mike Sonko has been involved in more than a million scandals since he rose to public limelight, never before has he worked so tirelessly to “set the record” straight like he has done in this. I maintain my stand that it is high time Sonko grew up. He needs to come off his pubescent excitement and realize sooner rather than later that he is a member of the honourable house of Senate. The constitution is very clear on the conduct of public office holders and it’s imperative of Sonko to go back to his Constitution chapter six and re-read it.
As long as he continues to act like a goat on heat or a pig experiencing orgasm, I will stand for what I believe is right and honour my obligation as a citizen to continue holding him to account for his actions as long as he remains to carry the name, Senator- Nairobi County.
May I also take the earliest opportunity to state that I have no personal problem with Sonko, never had, never will. I hold him in high regard having come thru for us when we rolled out Intouch Mtaani but I will not allow my leaders, regardless of what they have done for me personally or for others, to act in such juvenile manners and keep quite about it.
Here’s is my response, you can either choose to take it or continue believing the GOSSIP going around. I careless of what you will make out of it coz in the end of it all, I’m very clear on what I did, why I did it and why I WOULD DO IT AGAIN!
