Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has been caught on camera slapping a man in Madiwa, Eastleigh, who allegedly told him to respect Woman Rep Esther Passaris.
In a video shared online, the man is seen being forcefully brought by other men to the governor who slaps him.
"Here he is your excellency. He was trying to run (Ndio huyu mhesh. Alikuwa anajaribu kukimbia)," the men shout.
The man, who is said to be a Member of County Assembly, raises his hands in surrender, asking for forgiveness to no avail.
Governor Sonko has been locked in an ongoing public tiff with the Nairobi Woman Rep which started during Madaraka Day celebrations.
The said MCA is said to have sustained injuries after being allegedly assaulted by the Nairobi County boss.
When he appeared on Jeff Koinange Live about two weeks ago, Governor Sonko tore into Passaris as he shared messages he exchanged with her.
The program was abruptly brought to an end over editorial considerations, a move that Sonko called biased and went on to do a Facebook Livestream.
Governor Sonko was in Madiwa Area in Eastleigh to stop a demolition.
"This evening I visited Madiwa area in Eastleigh where a private developer illegally demolished some buildings. My administration will not condone such acts of injustice and I will ensure justice is done to the victims, " the governor posted on Facebook.
