While responding to the claims, which appeared on a local daily, the flamboyant Senator Mike Sonko took to his Facebook account where he rubbished the claims as a meager propaganda.
Sonko wrote that the claims were false and were just being propagated by those seeking the gubernatorial position on the Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP) ticket.
Sai ndio nasoma papers za Leo, naona propaganda ati nilikuwa na Raila kwa ofisi yake jana asubui, while jana I was at JKIA airport lounge at 8am waiting to board the 9:30am flight to Mombasa for official duties including meeting teachers and pupils of a Nairobi School at my family house in North coast. Furthermore hata nikionekana nayeye shida ikoo?
Even HE the president and his Deputy normally meet him on different occasions. Nakama ni ile photo ya FB nikivaa Tshirt ya orange yule politician ameumwa avae ya Red. Infact kwa hii photo no.3 nimevaa kofia ya orange, shirt ya orange, shoes za orange, belt ya orange, boxer ya orange na ngotha ya orange. I want to tell any Nrb politician behind this cheap proganda that I will not step down for anyone in the Governors race.
In jubilee we believe in democracy and that’s why we encourage as many members as possible to come forth and declare their ambitions for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat. Be it Waweru, Sakaja, Mbaru, Wanjiru, Mwau, Waiguru, myself or anyother person, let us sell our policies to the great people of Nairobi they’re the final decision makers, after all, the merrier the better. My message to the people of Nairobi is I’m ready to restore the city’s lost glory. When elections are called, I will give my blueprint. There’s no turning back.
