Sonko Offers To Bail Out Fake Lawyer

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

A Kenyan man has been arrested for falsely presenting himself as an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. The man, who has been identified as Brian Mwenda, has reportedly argued and won 26 cases before magistrates, high court judges, and court of appeal judges.

The news of Mwenda’s arrest has sparked a debate among Kenyans, with some calling for him to be prosecuted and others defending him. Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has even offered to bail Mwenda out and sponsor him to go to Kenya School of Law.

Those who support Mwenda argue that he is a talented individual who has been able to achieve success despite not having a formal law degree. They also argue that the Kenyan legal system is flawed and that Mwenda’s success is a testament to his intelligence and abilities.

Those who oppose Mwenda argue that he is a fraud who has been misleading the courts and the public. They also argue that his success is due to the fact that he has been able to exploit loopholes in the Kenyan legal system.

It remains to be seen whether Mwenda will be prosecuted or not. However, his case has raised important questions about the Kenyan legal system and the role of education in the legal profession.

Sonko Pens Emotional Message To Daughter As She Moves To London For Studies

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Mike Sonko, the former governor of Nairobi and philanthropist, is both proud and sad as his youngest daughter, Sandra Mbuvi, leaves home to study in London.

In a heartwarming Instagram post, Sonko shared a montage of photos and videos of his family accompanying Sandra to the airport. He wrote that he was happy for her to embark on this exciting journey, but also sad to see her go.

“Dear daughter, I want you to know how proud I am of the adventurous spirit within you. Watching you spread your wings and embark on this exciting journey to study abroad fills me with happiness for all the opportunities and experiences that await you,” he wrote.

Sonko also expressed his sadness at the thought of having an empty house without Sandra and his wife, Primrose, who will be with her in London for four months.

“Yet, at the same time, a part of me feels a profound sadness, realizing how much I’ll miss your presence, our daily conversations, and the warmth of your smile,” he wrote.

Sandra also shared a photo of herself and her father embracing, writing, “Not the two of us crying.” She also shared a video of herself posing with her parents and younger brother, Satrine, who was crying at the airport.

Sonko’s post is a reminder of the mixed emotions that parents feel when their children leave home to start their own lives. It is a time of both joy and sorrow, as parents are proud of their children for growing up and becoming independent, but also miss their presence dearly.

Sonko Accuses Raila of Betrayal

Posted on by Ozymandias

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has accused opposition leader Raila Odinga of betraying him politically, despite the many favors he did for the ODM chief.

Sonko made the claims on Tuesday in Machakos County during the burial of Ms Anastasia Musau, the mother of Mwala MP Vincent Musyoka Kawaya.

He said that Odinga had asked him to get jobs for some members of his family, and that he had obliged. He cited the example of Ms Beryl Odinga, whom he said he appointed as the chairperson of the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company Board.

“I appointed Mr Odinga’s sister as the chairperson of Nairobi Water, I went ahead and appointed his cousin as the chairperson of Mbagathi Hospital board. I gave a number of people linked to him the lucrative positions of chief officers,” Sonko said.

He further claimed that Odinga had also asked him to dig him a borehole in his house, and that he had also done this. Sonko said that the ODM boss had asked him to dig a number of boreholes for some private families.

However, Sonko said that when he fell out of favor with President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government, it was Odinga who dealt the final blow to his political career.

“Despite all the favors I did for him, he still worked with former President Uhuru Kenyatta and ensured that I am impeached as the governor of Nairobi,” Sonko said, adding that Odinga is a thankless political leader.

Sonko was impeached as the governor of Nairobi County in December 2020 after the Senate voted overwhelmingly to have him thrown out of office. The former governor is also facing charges of gross abuse of office in court.

Odinga has not yet responded to Sonko’s accusations.

In the meantime, Sonko’s claims have sparked a debate on social media, with some people supporting him and others criticizing him. Some people have accused Sonko of being ungrateful, while others have said that Odinga is a power-hungry politician who will betray anyone who gets in his way.

The truth of the matter is likely somewhere in between. It is possible that Sonko did indeed do favors for Odinga, but it is also possible that Odinga did not betray him. Ultimately, only Sonko and Odinga know the truth of what happened.

Mike Sonko Surprises Kaveve Kazoze Hitmakers With Airplane Trip

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko surprised the Kaveve Kazoze hitmakers with an airplane trip. The upcoming musicians were happy to experience their first plane ride.

The Spider Clan, as the group is known, has been in the limelight for the last few weeks after their song “Kaveve Kazoze” became a hit in the country. The young musicians have performed across the country, and their popularity is growing.

Mike Sonko is known for his support of young musicians. He has previously offered financial support to the youth, and he is keen on helping young talented people in the country.

The Spider Clan was formed less than one year ago. The leader of the group is Ngesh, a determined lady who is passionate about performing music.

Mike Sonko was impressed by the group’s talent and their work ethic. He vowed to support the group in their music career. He promised to provide financial support to the group and connect them to the best music producers.

The Spider Clan is grateful for Mike Sonko’s support. They say that his help will allow them to take their music to the next level. They are excited to see what the future holds for their group.

Mike Sonko Warns Goons Against Trying To Steal His Millions From Him

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Mike Sonko’s hefty cash will probably attract goons; who already know that he keeps cash in his house. But the former Nairobi Governor is not flinching about the matter.

In fact, he has warned them against trying to break into his house as he has tight security. He flaunted the numerous CCTV cameras surrounding his home-maintaining no one will enter his home without him knowing. He spewed the latter through one of his videos.

Sonko sparked controversy after he posted a video on social media showing off wads of cash. In the video, Sonko is seen opening suitcases full of money and counting it. He then proceeds to stuff the money into his pockets.

Sonko’s video has since been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised him for his wealth, while others have criticized him for flaunting it. Some have also questioned the source of his wealth.

Sonko has not commented on the controversy surrounding his video. However, he has a history of making controversial statements and actions. In the past, he has been accused of corruption, misuse of public funds, and assault.

It is unclear what Sonko’s intentions were in posting the video. Some people believe that he was simply trying to show off his wealth. Others believe that he was trying to send a message to his critics. Whatever his intentions, Sonko’s video has certainly sparked a debate.

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has finally heard the cries of Nairobians. City dwellers have been protesting hawker infestation of the Central Business District (CBD).

Nairobi CBD used to look like an extension of Gikomba market just a few days ago. Sonko allowed hawkers to operate within the CBD from 2pm.

Nairobians took to social media to protest about the CBD being reduced one big open-air market. Sonko has since decided to deal with hawker menace in the CBD.

Sonko plans to acquire KPCU building

The governor says he has comprehensive plans to ensure hawkers; interest are taken care. Sonko reveals that plans are also underway to acquire KPCU building and transform it into a hawkers’ market.

“My administration has a comprehensive plan to ensure hawkers’ interests are taken care of. As a long-term measure, my administration has identified Mwariro Market to be transformed into a hawkers’ market.
Plans are also underway to acquire KPCU building and transform it into a hawkers’ market as well,” wrote Sonko.

Hawkers relocated

Sonko says hawkers will no longer obstruct people and businesses. The governor explains that hawkers have been relocated to designated streets in the city.

“For the time being, my administration is working on means and ways that will ensure a progressive and humane relocation of hawkers to designated streets and lanes where they can freely do their businesses without obstructing other people as well as other business owners.”

He shared photos to prove that Nairobi CBD was no longer clogged by hawkers. See the photos below:

My new administration will put in place an elaborate plan to clean up the mess that has been left behind by the outgoing county government, while ensuring that every resident shall get value for their money as taxpayers.In my government, the garbage menace shall become history as we have already demonstrated in the ongoing “Operation Ng’arisha Jiji.”This auspicious day marks the end of the cartels that have held the people of Nairobi hostage for many years.
Land grabbing and forceful evictions of our people without following due process will be a thing of the past.

He went on to add;

Mike Sonko

There shall be enough water for all residents. We shall build enough markets for our small scale traders and review licenses to enhance ease of doing business. We shall support our youth, women and persons living with disabilities to start and grow their businesses, while creating employment opportunities.

We shall build new and equip existing health facilities to guarantee our citizens of first class health services. We shall make Nairobi the preferred destination for all local and foreign investors and tourists. Because we deserve the best, and we shall become the best. Under my administration, Nairobi shall shine again as the face and gateway to Africa.

I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your continued support and goodwill, and invite you to partner with me in restoring the lost glory of Nairobi, and make it the “Green City in the Sun” again. As Nelson Mandela once said, “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger or work. Then people will appreciate your leadership.” God bless you all. God bless Kenya. Ahsanteni sana. Twendeni kazi wazalendo wenzangu.

Sonko leaves people guessing as he carries Rachel Shebesh’s handbag and escorts her to the car (Photos)

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Sonko and Shebesh have mend fences, the two lawmakers had a beef since 2013 when they had an altercation within parliament building.

Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and Nairobi Women Rep Rachel Shebesh were tight in the run-up to 2013 general election, but they split after a bitter quarrel in September 2013.

The row between Sonko and Shebesh spilled into the public domain with reports that the two were embroiled in a fight within Parliament buildings on September 26th 2013. This was before the two were said to have a confrontation at Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Sonko and Shebesh were said to have an affair after a series of photos were leaked online

Then came Sonko’s revelation in Kariokor in January 2017; the Nairobi Senator indirectly said that Shebesh almost broke his marriage while addressing a gathering in Kariokor.

“Mimi nawaheshimu wamama sana. Lakini kuna mama mmoja ambaye mlimchagua afanyie wamama kazi, mlipomtuma nyinyi wamama, vijana na watu wa Nairobi kule. Amefika kule sasa yeye kwa ile miaka minne alikuwa ananyang’anya wamama wengine mabwana. Hata mimi nakumbuka siku moja karibu avunje nyumba yangu. Saa hii amechukua MCA mwingine kule… amemnyang’anya MCA. Sisi ni watu tunamcha Mungu sana, tunaogopa Mungu. Wamama wengine waheshimiwe,” Sonko said.

Talk of history having a funny way of repeating itself, Sonko and Shebesh have now settled their differences– just a few weeks into August 8th general election.

The Nairobi Senator was in hospital when Shebesh was being discharged. The Nairobi Women Rep was admitted at Nairobi Hospital weeks ago after she sustained a leg injury.

Sonko carried Shebesh’s handbag, posed for photos with her, escorted her to the car, opened the door for her to get in…such a gentleman.

“Our Women rep Hon. Rachel Shebesh has been discharged from hospital. We did our first strategy meeting as Team TRIPPLE ‘S’ today. I wish her a quick recovery,” Sonko said after Shebesh was discharged from hospital.

Jaguar and Mike Sonko throw mud at Maina Kamanda after Jubilee handed the musician Starehe ticket

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Finally Charles Njagua Kanyi aka Jaguar has the last laugh, the musician was rigged out of Jubilee nominations for Starehe constituency but yesterday he was named the victor.

Jubilee Appeals Tribunal ruled in favor of Jaguar, the tribunal’s chairperson Faith Waigwa said there was compelling evidence proving that a returning officer altered the musician’s results.

Jaguar was given Jubilee nomination certificate yesterday May 3rd, he will now battle it out with ODM’s Steve Mbogo and Ukweli Party’s Boniface Mwangi.

The race for Starehe parliamentary seat has been dubbed as a youth battle; Jaguar, Boniface Mwangi and Steve Mbogo are the leading contenders

Jaguar also slung mad at Maina Kamanda while celebrating his victory, he said that the incumbent MP was fond of rigging out his competitors.

“What we know about history ya mheshimiwa Kamanda he has been rigging out people since 1979, and whenever I went for the campaigns watu walikua wananiambia we might not come vote for coz we know utanyanganywa certificate. And everyday nkiamuka mapema I had to go convince people Jubilee iko fair and sitanyanganywa certificate na Maina Kamanda,” Jaguar said while addressing the press at Jubilee headquarters.

Maina Kamanda

Mike Sonko also taunted the veteran politician, he called him a tribal cartel as he referred to a past incident where Maina called him a dog.

“Before I go to the Jeff Koinange’s live show let me take this opportunity to congratulate my friend @jaguarkenya for clinching the Jubilee’s starehe parliamentary certificate. It wasn’t an easy job some of us were referred to as “DOGS” by the tribal cartels but all the same we believe that Kenyans we are one. God we thank you for this big miracle. Thank you the Great people of Nairobi as well for standing with us,” Sonko wrote.

 

He’s truly a changed man! Just look at how Sonko celebrated his party nomination to run as governor

Posted on by Irari Ngugi

I don’t know what this nomination process has done to honourable Sonko but Nairobians are loving it.

Tough times lay ahead and thus he has resulted to God to make sure he sails to Canaan where  Nairobian votes will likely be waiting in plenty.

It’s usually his style to pop bottles upon bottles of Johnnie Walker gold Reserve when celebrating victories but things seem to have taken a different turn. He celebrated beating his arch rival Peter Kenneth by lifting his hands up and praising the lord alongside other winners Johnson Sakaja and John Kiarie(KJ).

Mind you he also looked very polish in a clean cut suit and clean shaven.

Are we going to have a totally different Sonko as governor?

Check him out here:

 

 

 

 

Meet the successful lady gearing the Sonko PR team….everybody she works with always wins

Posted on by Irari Ngugi

If the latest tallying and what is being projected on social media is anything to go by, then Sonko is surely on the way to becoming the next governor of Nairobi; that is if manages to beat the mighty Kidero.

He has not done it alone though as he has a successful team rallying behind him which I can guarantee has never lost an election.

It is the formidable force of Cynthia Nyamai the PR goat from Cynthia Communications who has led to the successful election of notable figures not only here in kenya but across Africa.

She was spearheading the campaigns for the current president of Nigeria, Buhari who won by a landslide and also Yoweri Museveni who won in the last elections.

As we have gathered, she’s the person running the show in Sonko’s fort and she’s expecting nothing but a win.

Here she is posing like the boss she is:

Sonko

 

 

This is what is going to happen to Sonko if he looses to Peter Kenneth…the truth revealed

Posted on by Irari Ngugi

Just what is going to happen to Sonko if he looses to Peter Kenneth?

Will he concede defeat like other veterans or what exactly will happen? Will he ditch Jubilee?

All those are questions lingering in the air and which we’ll definitely answer.

Speaking after casting his vote at Bidii Primary School in Makadara, Sonko said that should he lose unfairly in the exercise that he has already faulted, he will move on and vie as an independent candidate.

Now unfairly is very ambiguous in this business of politics but we highly suspect he meant he has to be on the ballot box no matter what.

Actually that’s what he said;

“Of course I have to be on the ballot if I unfairly lose the nomination,” Sonko said.

Margret Wanjiru who is also in the race has already started raising concerns in the transparency of the exercise citing massive irregularities in the area of Westlands and Karura.

This university girl was recently openly thirsting on Sonko and he decided to act on it…by doing this

Posted on by Irari Ngugi

Big shots like Chris Kirubi might not know who he is but the ladies surely know who Sonko is, even University girls for that matter.

Also read:This was Chris Kirubi’s response after Sonko offered him a job if he gets elected Governor…so humiliating

Like one University of Nairobi lass by the name Nancy Wanjiku who could’t help but declare all the carnal feelings towards the Nairobi Senator.

In a Facebook post on Sonko’s wall, she told him that he made her horny and would definitely be the first one at the polling station to ensure that the senator cliches the seat in the upcoming party primaries.

And guess what, he responded and in the most hilarious way.

Check out the conversation:

Sonko

 

 

This was Chris Kirubi’s response after Sonko offered him a job if he gets elected Governor…so humiliating

Posted on by Irari Ngugi

Before you go around offering people jobs like Sonko, please make sure to call them first or at least get to know them.

The man is learning this the hard way after he publicly offered Chris Kirubi a job on Facebook, Chief Economic Advisor just to be specific without asking him first.

Also read:This is the video of Nairobians rejecting Peter Kenneth and embracing Sonko that is doing rounds online….He will start crying after seeing this

The aspiring Governor is on a hunt for Nairobi’s vote and it seems he’s getting carried away with the whole process. Because apart from naming Chris Kirubi, he also named dropped Jimnah Mbaru and Phillip Gakuo who are supposed to be his running mates( we highly doubt he has consulted them).

Well Chris Kirubi was having none of it, calling out Sonko for his actions.

“How do you offer a job to someone you have never met or spoken to. I don’t know this man neither do I know his number,” said the businessman.

“I am not interested in politics. I work for international organisations and I have no time for Sonko’s job offer,” he added.

Now that is rough!
