Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko had a meltdown on Citizen TV during an interview with Hussein Mohamed – the controversial lawmaker went on rampage insulting his opponent Peter Kenneth.
Among several sickening things Sonko said was an outrageous claim that Kenneth had albinism. The Nairobi Senator referred Kenneth as an ‘albino’ just because of his skin color.
Sonko’s nauseating remark irked nominated MP Isaac Mwaura who was utterly shocked by the senator’s audacity to use albinism condition in derogatory terms on a national television.
Mwaura issued an ultimatum to Sonko to apologize to people living with albinism, he said abusing people because of their skin colour was against the constitution of which he says Sonko swore to uphold and protect when he was elected Nairobi Senator.
“Mike Mbuvi Sonko must in no equivocal terms apologize for demonizing and abusing Hon Peter Kenneth using the God given status of albinism. Its totally uncalled for to use our condition in derogatory terms in order to settle political scores. Mr Sonko should know that persons with albinism are Kenyans too and who have a right to be elected into any office. He should avoid misleading his supporters that Hon Kenneth has albinism. To abuse people because of their skin colour is to go against article 27 of the constitution of which the elected senator of nairobi swore to uphold and protect. The Albinism Society of KENYA shall issue a further statement on this tomorrow. Kenyans of mixed race have a right too. Sonko should also tell us of what he thinks of our dear first lady Margaret Kenyatta and even President Barrack Obama,” Isaac Mwaura wrote.
