10 photos of hawker infestation of Nairobi CBD that make Nairobians miss Kidero

Nairobi governor Mike Sonko allowed hawkers to ply their trade within the Central Business District (CBD). Sonko’s directive allows hawkers to operate in the CBD from 2pm.

Hawkers have now taken over pedestrian walkways and all empty space in the CBD. Kenya Archives in particular is a hot spot for hawkers.

Hygiene has now become a major challenge as hawkers throw garbage all over the CBD. Street children, beggars and pickpockets have also flocked into the CBD.

Nairobians protest

Nairobians have been grumbling on social media about how standards have deteriorated in the CBD. The CBD has been reduced one big open-air market.

The photos below depict how Nairobi CBD looks nowadays:

Governor Mike Sonko’s photo before the money and fame, his life is a living testimony

Governor Mike Sonko back in the day had nothing and I mean nothing. He was just another struggling man in Kenya trying to make ends meet for his family. But just like most celebrities we have heard of, he made sure to work hard and this is how he became the man he is today.

Just recently through his Facebook page the Nairobi Governor shared an old photo showing his followers where he started from. The photo which was taken in Mombasa shows a skinny Mike Sonko with over sized clothes and big shoes as a testimony that life can change when you put enough efforts in what you do.

According to him, he always made sure to move from one area to another looking for a job and almost 20 years later he is now living the life he had always dreamt of. He can now give his young family some of the things he did not get when he was young and for some reason he has not given up on helping fellow Kenyans since he says he also got help to get where he is today.

In case you had given up on life, check out Mike Sonko’s below and use it as a testimony that no situation in life is permanent.

Safety for everyone is paramount as operation in the lake is delicate.

“Some of the challenges being encountered by Search and Rescue Teams are Poor visibility in the lake due dirty water, wide search area, presence of wild animals, weather among others,” wrote Sonko.

Divers hit by typhoid

Divers prepare for search operation at Lake Nakuru

Several divers involved in the search operation in Lake Nakuru have reportedly fallen sick. The divers are said to be plagued by typhoid and malaria.

Divers are said to have been complaining of stomach pain and diarrhea. They are reported to be suffering from typhoid due to contamination of the lake by sewerage. The lake is full of plastic bags, pieces of cloth and bottles.

Victims’ relatives camp at the lake

Relatives of the victims who perished in the helicopter crash are camping at the lake waiting for any good news from divers.

5 people perished when helicopter crashed into Lake Nakuru on Saturday October 21st. Sonko’s friend Mapozi John was among those who in the accident.

“I am deeply saddened by the death of five young Kenyans this morning arising from the Lake Nakuru helicopter accident that has left the nation in shock.I was personally known to Captain Apollo Malowa who has flown me on many occasions, a truly dedicated serviceman who served this great nation selflessly.

“Mapozi John and Sam Gitau have been personal friends for a long time, and were true patriots and dedicated servants of the people. They were not only ardent supporters of President Uhuru Kenyatta and myself, but also worked tirelessly in the last and the ongoing campaigns. Mapozi John was looking forward to meeting me today for the ongoing presidential campaigns at Kajiado and Narok. However, God had another plan over his life.

Who did it better showing off guns? 15 photos of Kenyan celebrities brandishing deadly assault rifles

The law forbids brandishing of guns in public. But this does not necessarily stops people from showing off deadly assault rifles.

A few celebrities in Kenya are licensed gun holders. The like of Prezzo is known to carry his gun everywhere he goes. The rapper has also been caught in endless gun dramas.

The majority celebs who do not own guns have also been seen brandishing firearm. The guns they showed off on social media are usually owned by licensed gun owners.

“Sonko has a fake diploma in mortuary attendance” Even in oppression Babu Owino manages to fire back at Sonko

Nairobi governor Mike Sonko called Babu Owino ‘shoga’ and ‘mbwa’ and also said other unpalatable words about the Embakasi East MP. Babu has since hit back at the Nairobi county boss.

Kenyans on Twitter expressed disappointment with Mike Sonko and called for his arrest after a video of him referring to Embakasi East MP Babu Owino as ‘shoga’ and ‘mbwa’ emerged.

Sonko savagely attacked Babu Owino during campaigns for president Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday September 27th. Sonko said Jubilee had mafias who could deal with the Embakasi East MP.

https://youtu.be/5QqG3gjlZDk

Babu refused to engage the Nairobi governor terming him as an academic dwarf who forged his diploma; the Embakasi East MP posted his response on his Facebook page.

“I will not stoop low to engage one Mike Sonko who has a FAKE diploma certificate in Mortuary attendance. I have more serious issues to deal with #NoReformsNoElections” Wrote Babu Owino.

 

Mike Sonko orchestrates trap to bust Highridge chief after complaints from Indian family (Photos)

Highridge chief was disgraced after he fell for a trap laid for him by Ethics and Anti – Corruption Commission (EACC) following complaints from an Indian family.

The Indian family of Mohan Singh Dhanjal and Satwant Singh Dhanjal contacted Sonko seeking help, cartels colluding with local administration wanted to seize their property.

The Dhanjals told Sonko that they reported the matter to the area chief but surprisingly the chief demanded bribe to offer them protection.

Highridge chief after he was busted taking bribe

“I received a text from the families of Mohan Singh Dhanjal and Satwant Singh Dhanjal requesting to meet me urgently over a sensitive matter. Being a Sunday, I called them for a meeting. They narrated to me about two of their family properties that they have occupied since 1974. Sadly, they have been living under constant threats lately from cartels who want to grab their land. They had reported the matter to the area chief who had proven to be uncooperative. The chief had ordered them to deposit with him the original Title Deed by 10:00am today, allegedly over a debt against the title of Ksh.350,000. Strangely, the family has never borrowed against the Title, neither have they ever guaranteed a loan,” Sonko wrote in part.

EACC officers inspects the money that the chief took as bribe

The Nairobi governor advised the Dhanjals to report the matter to EACC who laid a trap to bust the corrupt Highridge chief.

“I advised them to report the matter this morning to the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC), who provided officers to accompany them to meet the chief. Upon arrival, the chief demanded that the family gives him and the area DO Ksh.30,000 for “protection.” The EACC officers swiftly swung into action and arrested the chief, who is currently being held at Kilimani Police Station awaiting to be presented in court,” wrote Sonko.

Sonko vowed to step up the fight against cartels who used to enjoy the protection and support of previous governments and administrations.

Sonko and the Dhanjals family address the press

“As I promised, the days of the cartels who have been tormenting and defrauding honest, hardworking Kenyans came to an end the day I assumed office.”

 

“Your passing left pain beyond measure” Sonko celebrates his late dad in emotional post

Sonko’s father Gideon Kioko Kivanguli passed on two years ago at Nairobi Hospital where he had been admitted in the ICU following a short illness.

The deceased was buried in his rural home at Mua Hills in Machakos County. Sonko constructed a mausoleum to house his dad’s grave.

Friends and family yesterday September 6th gathered at Sonko family mausoleum for a special prayer to mark the second anniversary since the passing of Mzee Kivaguli.

Nairobi governor eulogized his late dad in an emotional post on social media;

“Exactly two years ago today, you slid quietly into eternity. Time stood still but it can never erase your presence in our lives. Death may end life but not a relationship. We remember you as a wonderful gift from God, our pillar of strength. We deeply cherish your memories of love, dedication, kindness, wisdom and generosity which will remain our guiding light.

“You still are in our hearts, your memories linger, sweetly, tenderly, fondly and truly. We miss you dearly. Your amazing life was a blessing to us; the memory of your deeds a treasure, your passing left a void beyond words and your absence a pain beyond measure. Although physically gone, you have always been a thought away from us. God be with you till we meet again. May the Almighty rest your soul in eternal peace,” wrote Sonko.

With president uhuru and his deputy at Uhuru Park, security was tight as usual. The VIP section was under the watchful eyes of the president’s security detail, no commoner was allowed near.

But guess who made it to the VIP section? Githeri man himself (Martin Kamotho) was on the VIP section dressed in the same clothes he was seen in his viral photo.

Githeri was tasked with welcoming important guests at the VIP section, he stood at the entrance to greet and usher in guests who attended Sonko’s inauguration.

Sonko’s powerful message as he promises to create new job opportunities for women, youths and persons living with disabilities

Mike Sonko has finally been sworn into office and is now Nairobi’s new governor. His inauguration took place at Uhuru park attracting hundreds of supporters who could not miss this special celebrations.

Mike Sonko

Through his Instagram page the now Nairobi governor wrote a thanks giving message thanking everyone for supporting him all through out and went on to promise that he will create new job opportunities for women, youths and people living with disabilities.

Mike Sonko

In his long post he said;

Nairobi will never be the same again from today. I shall work around the clock to guarantee efficient and timely services for all our residents. 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 seal all loopholes to suffocate the thieves who have been stealing our revenues. 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.

Nairobi governor Mike Sonko deploys hundreds of Youths to clean up Nairobi City (Photos)

Mike Sonko seems to be on a roll as he has started cleaning Kenya’s capital city as he aims to make Nairobi the cleanest city in Africa.

From the photos shared on his social media pages, his Sonko rescue team which is made up of young people is seen scrapping off posters from walls while others clean heaps of garbage from the streets.

This comes after he swore to ensure Nairobi gets the service it deserves and now he has already cleaned up the Wakulima Market, City Primary, Kasarani areas and parts of Ngara.

So far today is their 4th day and according to Sonko this is just the beginning of his projects that will soon be launched by his team.

Checkout the photos below;

Warning shots fired: Mike Sonko spells doom for City Hall tenderpreneurs ahead of his inauguration

Mike Sonko has made it clear that it won’t be business as usual at City Hall from the very day that he assumes office. The Nairobi governor-elect has already started talking action.

Mike Sonko turned down Kes 25 million set aside for his inauguration ceremony. Sonko instead ordered that the money should be directed to payment of county staff within 48 hours to avert planned strike by the workers over the nonpayment.

The Nairobi governor-elect has also cautioned City Hall tenderpreneurs. In a public notice, Sonko said once he is sworn in he will put in place elaborate process that will ensure genuine contractors and suppliers.

Sonko said this after it emerged that individuals purporting to be working for City Hall were soliciting bribes from contractors and suppliers to influence speedy processing of pending payments.

The flamboyant politician further warned City Hall cartels to keep off before the long arm of the government gets hold of them.

 

“Sonko remains functionally illiterate convicted drug dealer” Miguna Miguna takes final dig at Sonko

Miguna Miguna has categorically stated that he will NEVER recognize Mike Sonko as his governor. He said Nairobians have elected a convicted drug dealer and a looter.

IEBC interim results show that Mike Sonko is leading incumbent Evans Kidero with over 167,500 votes in 3251 out of 3378 polling stations; Sonko 838,858 (53.52%), Kidero 671,270 (42.83%).

With these results so far, Mike Sonko is only a step closer to become Nairobi’s second governor. The prospect of Sonko becoming the next boss of Nairobi is a bitter pill for Miguna Miguna to swallow.

Miguna took to twitter to throw tantrums at the Nairobi governor-elect; he compared Sonko to other dictators including Adolf Hitler warning that Sonko wouldn’t transform Nairobi.

 

 

Sonko forced to explain why his running mate Polycarp Igathe never wears Jubilee t-shirts

Mike Sonko always wears Jubilee t-shirts and caps whenever he is on the campaign trail but his running mate Polycarp Igathe is rarely seen in Jubilee ensemble.

The flamboyant Nairobi senator brought on board a technocrat (Igathe) to assist him in managing Nairobi county as he deals with politics of the day should he win Nairobi gubernatorial seat on August 8th.

Igathe still maintains his classy dressing style (suits) and it’s evident that he’s finding it hard to fit in casual attires like Jubilee branded t-shirts.

Sonko and Igathe being prayed for

A concerned tweep asked Mike Sonko why his running mate doesn’t like wearing Jubilee branded t-shirts and the Nairobi Senator had an interesting explanation.

Apparently Sonko and Igathe had an agreement that his deputy should rock official attire while he wears casual clothes and vice versa.

Caroline Mutoko listed among cabinet appointees in Mike Sonko’s Nairobi County government

A list of cabinet appointees in Mike Sonko’s Nairobi County government has been making rounds on social media in the past few days.

The list shows that Caroline Mutoko has been selected for Urban Planning docket in the event that Mike Sonko trounces Evans Kidero in the forthcoming August 8th election.

Caroline Mutoko

Other prominent people in Mike Sonko’s cabinet include Bruce Odhiambo (Trade Industry and Tourism executive), Millicent Omanga (Public Services executive), Billy Arocho (Security and Compliance executive) former KFF boss Sam Nyamweya (Finance, Economic and Planning executive), among others.

Mike Sonko has however rubbished the list claiming that it was created and circulated by people who had lazy imagination. He issued a statement in regard to the same:

STATEMENT ON THE FAKE LIST OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT LINEUP CIRCULATING ON SOCIAL MEDIA:

My attention has been drawn to a list circulating on social media purporting to give names of people who shall serve in my administration as the next Nairobi City County governor.

Clearly, it is a lazy imagination by my political detractors who are shamelessly out to confuse my supporters and the good people of Nairobi.

The architects of the same seem to completely lack creativity, and correct understanding of the people of, and challenges facing, Nairobi.

As I have stated before, I remain committed to ensuring Nairobi’s next government is all-inclusive and representative not only to reflect the face of Kenya, but also the cosmopolitan nature of Nairobi and the many special interest groups as demanded by the Constitution.

I urge all my supporters and the people of Nairobi to treat this latest propaganda with the contempt it deserves, and focus on our journey to liberate the city from the corrupt cartels that have panicked and resorted to deploying unorthodox tactics to cause unnecessary tension and anxiety.

I wish to thank all the people of Nairobi for the great faith they have continued to have in me, and their overwhelming decision to elect me as their next Governor. I am humbled, and forever indebted to you all.

God bless the people of Nairobi. God bless Kenya.

Sen. Mike Sonko

Incoming Governor, Nairobi County

 

Sonko ruthlessly tears journalist apart during a press conference (Video)

Mike Sonko has no chills, the Nairobi Senator pulled a Miguna Miguna on a journalist during a press conference at a Nairobi hotel.

Sonko and his running mate Polycarp Igathe held a press conference at Nairobi Safari Club last week where they explained their manifesto to journalist.

The flamboyant Nairobi Senator took issues with a journalist who asked him about cabbage collection and disposal in Nairobi. He was not pleased with how the journalist framed the question so he ended up intimidating him.

“You have also been accused of other things, and it scares me…and you intimidate me in front of your fans, that scares me,” The journalist told Sonko.

Sonko lost his cool and fired back, he told the journalist that he wouldn’t kill him stating that Kidero was the murder.

“All the journalists are my friend, mimi sina uadui na majournalists, your friend (Kidero) ndo he is a murderer, yeye ndo anaua watu, mimi siui watu. So uliza swali yako pole pole bila hasira, ukiuliza na hasira naweza kosa kuijibu,” Sonko told the journalist.

Watch how the drama unfolded in the video below:

Saumu Mbuvi’s message after her dad was pounded like cassava flour in Nairobi gubernatorial debate

Nairobi gubernatorial debate was interesting to watch, of course Miguna Miguna came on top and Sonko performed poorly because he couldn’t express himself fluently and coherently in English.

Miguna Miguna made mincemeat of his competitors during the debate, the former PM aide crashed his opponents as he distinguished himself as the only candidate with integrity and competence.

Sonko was not very lucky competing with academic giants – Miguna Miguna, Evans Kidero and Peter Kenneth, the Nairobi Senator was intimidated with his rivals who spoke fluent English and articulated themselves better; Sonko resorted to answering questions in Swahili.

Sonko’s daughter Saumu Mbuvi took to social media after the debate to urge the youth not to be fooled by her dad’s opponents who had great command of the Queen’s language. Saumu reminded people that her dad was the better option for Nairobians.

“To My fellow Youths , Lets not be blinded by men in suits with imported English .We are the future and we need a leader who stands with us by all times.We need a leader who fights for us ,understands us and Moreso walks with us.Mike Sonko has been the only leader providing employment for the youths wengine walikua wapi ??…Sonko has been for us and forever with us,” wrote Saumu Mbuvi.

Mike Sonko throws his house help a big bash to celebrate her birthday

The Nairobi governor aspirant Mike Sonko continues to wow many through his actions. Just recently he decided to celebrate his house helps birthday in a special way which has left many admiring his generosity.

After celebrating his son’s 4th birthday, Mike Sonko and his family held a small birthday party for Judy who has been managing his home for a while now.

From the pictures shared on social media one can see the birthday cake they purchased for her and though it might not been a big deal for many, the priceless smile on Judy’s face simply explains how excited she was.

Check out the photos below;

Mike Sonko’s splashes unknown amount to give his son the best birthday as he turns 5 years (Photos)

Money is not a problem when it comes to Mike Sonko balling for his children. In the past we have seen him buy his daughters cars among other things but for his son baby Osinya he decided to hold a grand birthday party to celebrate him as he turns 5 years.

Mike Sonko with his son, baby Osinya

Baby Osinya was adopted by Mike Sonko and his family when he was a toddler after his mother was killed in a terror attack in Mombasa. Sonko however took him and has been treating him like his biological son and judging from the life Osinya now lives…then I guess it is just God’s doing.

On his 5th birthday his parents (Sonko and his wife) held a party for him and from the photos I managed to get…seems that the Senator balled for his son’s big day. There was plenty of snacks and cake for the invited kids and apart from that the adults also got to have their fun since his home bar was fully stocked with various drinks.

Below are the photos that have left many talking:

 

Mike Sonko is still in touch with his youth, checkout the Ksh. 175,000 sneakers he stepped wearing

Mike Sonko is known for his flashy lifestyle, the chains he wears and of course he is a peoples person. He is not afraid to mix with the common mwanainchi and from what I hear he is actually very down to earth when you get to know him on a personal level… If it’s true then I guess that is why his political career is a success.

The Nairobi gubernatorial seat aspirant however left many shocked after stepping out in a pair of Pharell x Adidas NMD human race that are estimated to cost around Ksh. 175,000.

Sonko’s new shoes

From his expensive lifestyle, we can assume that the shoes are original and for those wondering why he would spend all that cash on shoes let me remind you that he can easily afford them.

Well, it is also evident that he is in touch with his youth hence his fancy mode of dressing. Checkout the shoes below:

Lanes: Mike Sonko proves why he is the perfect husband once again, checkout the brand new Range Rover he bought his wife

There is no lady who doesn’t enjoy receiving gifts from her husband. In fact I think it is mandatory to once in a while surprise your spouse with a gift just to keep the flame burning high and this is what senator Mike Sonko did just recently as he went out of his way to buy his wife a new Range Rover that has left many feeling jealous.

Not quite sure what the event was as the two did not mention it on their social media pages but one thing is for sure Mrs Sonko was quite pleased by her husband’s actions. Through her Instagram page the lady wrote a moving message thanking the senator for always ensuring she gets nothing but the best when it comes to material stuff.

Her message also revealed that she had been hoping to get a Range Rover for quite a while and now that Mike Sonko had bought it for her, she could not hold back from praising him through her social media pages. Checkout her message below and photos of the extremely expensive ride:

“My husband is one of the greatest blessings from God, his love is a gift that I open every day. Dear husband Mike Sonko, Thank you so much for supporting my dreams. Thank you so much for the new ride… Barikiwa hadi ushangae my 2017 Nairobi Governor .. Insha Allah”

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

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!

Twitter erupts after the insane amount that President Uhuru allegedly offered Sonko to shelve his bid for Nairobi top job is revealed

#SonkoStepsDownForPK was the top trending topic on twitter for the better part of Wednesday April 19th – Kenyans were amazed by the amount Sonko was allegedly paid.

Word had it that President Uhuru Kenyatta offered Mike Sonko Kes 1 billion to quit his bid for Nairobi gubernatorial seat and support his main rival Peter Kenneth.

Twitter erupted the moment this claim reached public domain; #SonkoStepsDownForPK immediately became the top trending topic.

Kenyans couldn’t imagine the flamboyant senator backing down at such a late stage when Jubilee nominations were only a few days ahead.

The grapevine on twitter forced Sonko to react and set the record straight, he assured his supporters he wasn’t stepping down for anyone

“Propaganda machinery at work. I’m not stepping down for anyone. Let the Great people of Nairobi decide,”Sonko wrote on social media.

 

Man tries to hit Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko with a soda bottle, whatever happened next must have left him regretting the day he was born

Lately there have been cases of people throwing bottles at each other and as silly at it sounds, a man almost lost his life this past weekend after he tried hitting Mike Sonko with a glass bottle. This happened during during a campaign meeting that was held in Mai Mahiu, Naivasha.

The Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko was apparently in the company of Nakuru Speaker Susan Kihika when this happened.

Anyway, things immediately turned sour when the bottle missed the senator and in a blink of an eye those standing next to the man (who threw the bottle) pounced on him with kicks and blows leaving him unconscious.

An eyewitness who had been watching the man from the start revealed that he had thrown a stone at first but since it did not hit the senator he opted for a bottle which almost hit the senator. He said,

“This time round he was spotted. Youths who were offering security turned their fury on him, beating him seriously, before he was taken to the police station,” said Njoroge.

The senior police officer while addressing the media said that the man severely hurt by the youth who left him from several parts of his body. However, the young man was rushed to hospital where he is currently admitted.
