Did It Take Senator Mike Sonko Less Than 2 Years To Earn His First Ever Degree? Here Are The Interesting Details
Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko was given powers to read over the weekend when he graduated with his first degree in Business Administration from the Kenya Methodist University, a ceremony that was grace by DP William Ruto and Cabinet Secretary for Education, the embattled Jacob Kaimenyi.
As reported by Ghafla! Kenya, Sonko touched down at the graduation ceremony with two choppers.
That aside, fresh details have emerged showing the time it took the philanthropic and flamboyant politician to obtain his first ever degree.
The details are obtained from two stories published by Star Newspaper. The first story was when the Senator joined KeMU to start his undergraduate studies. This was in May 20th, 2013. The story read:
“Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has joined Mt Kenya University to study business administration. Sonko, who was admitted in the May intake, is to start his evening classes this week.”
And in Yesterday’s publication, the same paper ran the story of Sonko how he graduated. The story read in part:
“Sonko who graduated with a Bachelor in Business Administration enrolled at KEMU in 2013”.
Well, it just took the Senator 2 years to acquire his degree.
Among those who joined the bandwagon to congratulate Sonko on his achievement is his political rival Governor Evans Kidero. Kidero said through his facebook account:
”Congratulations are inorder Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko as you prepare to graduate this coming Saturday! You have walked a long way to reach this goal. You are truly an inspiration and demonstration to all that hard work and dedication does pay. We are very proud of you and well done!”
Some argued that the senator had gone for the degree because he is eyeing the Nairobi gubernatorial seat. However, Sonko refuted this and said that all he wants is to sharpen his knowledge and provide services to Nairobians.
