Mike Sonko has not been getting any sleep for the past few days; and word has it that this is because government agencies have been looking into his assets.
So far the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) have been investigating how the governor spent Sh500 million between August 2017 and December 2019.
His spokesman Ben Mulwa recently confirmed that Sonko’s office in Upper Hill was recently raided by officers looking for unknown information; however since they did not have a search warrant, they were denied access!
Sonko restless
Of course with trouble attacking him from all angles, Sonko have found himself battling a case of Insomnia as he probably fears ending up in court; or worse in jail if the stories circulating around assets are true.
On Monday morning around 3am, Sonko left some of his Facebook followers asking questions after he shared a post asking for prayers.
According to him, insomnia is real and has denied him the peace of enjoying a quiet night sleep for days now. Through his Facebook page the governor wrote;
Watu wangu, insomnia is real. Haki muendelee kuniombea mpaka Mungu Askie maombi yenu. Nami sitawawachilia
Political fights
In February 2020 Governor Mike Sonko suffered a blow after the High Court froze his 10 accounts. According to reports the accounts allegedly hold over Ksh 18 million believed to have been stolen from the county.
For this reason the court not only barred Mr Sonko from transferring; withdrawing but also using the funds deposited in six accounts at Equity Bank; three at Diamond Trust Bank and another at Co-operative Bank of Kenya.
However with 2022 around the corner, the governor has been doing the most to help the common mwanainchi; as he hopes to get re-elected in future to ‘help’ accomplish what he had started in Nairobi city!
All that money and still no sleep?
