Stylish Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on Saturday spent most of his time in hunger stricken West Pokot County where he donated foodstuffs to locals in person along with his Sonko Rescue team.
This comes days after government insisted that it has enough food to feed over 2 million Kenyans currently struggling to contain hunger in 14 counties across the country.
But Sonko, in photos widely circulated on social media, is seen carrying foodstuffs in person besides distributing himself, a move that excited Kenyans on social media platforms.
"During distribution of relief food at Nasuguta area in West Pokot County in the company of Pokot South MP David Pkosing among other leaders," wrote Sonko on Facebook.
He added: "Earlier today in the company of Pokot South MP David Pkosing among other leaders, we led distribution of relief food at Nasuguta area in West Pokot County."
Despite media reports that over 10 people have starved to death, Deputy President William Ruto had termed the news as 'fake', insisting that no Kenya has died out of hunger.
West Pokot Governor John Longanyapuo recently confirmed two deaths in Tiaty Sub County, adding that there were several who had succumbed to hunger related cases.
Mr Sonko proceeded to Turkana County where he's expected to continue with his philanthropic work. Turkana is the worst hit by the hunger and Sonko says he will ensure he reaches all villages.
