Mike Sonko says he is now a blogger after Uhuru Kenyatta made him jobless

 

The politician went on social media on Sunday, January 17, alerting his followers that he was delighted to start his new role as a blogger. The former Nairobi leader said this was courtesy of President Uhuru Kenyatta who he believes was integral to his impeachment.

He captioned the video: "Since I'm now jobless courtesy of Uhuru and his system, I'm happy to be the new blogger in town. Kazi ya upinzani ni tamu sana. Eurobond ilinyamaziwa kabisaaaa (sic)." The EACC had invited the opposition leader to address the corruption saga, a request he had already turned down. The former senator even gave Raila the option to share the information with him, so that he could pass it on to the Senate, to help unravel the suspected government corruption mystery. Going by this, Sonko appears ready to take up the opposing side of government and be the new whistleblower, something that Raila let go of after the handshake.

Speaking on Saturday, January 9, the former county boss said Nairobians had a democratic right to choose their leader through the ballot and not through shady nominations by the state. While reflecting on his time as the Nairobi governor, Sonko said he appointed Ann Kananu Mwenda as his deputy but claimed that Uhuru reprimanded him for appointing the woman. He said he fears God and asked the head of state to fear Him as well, especially while leading the government.

The ex-Nairobi Disaster Management and Coordination chief officer said one of her goals upon assumption of her new office would also be forging a good relationship with the MCAs.
