Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has refuted as false claims by Nairobi County women representative Esther Passaris that he doesn't respect her.
Sonko said he respects everyone and whoever feels disrespected should approach him formally.
"The claims by Passaris that I don't respect her are untrue because I am the governor and she is a county MP. I am urging her to walk any time to my office for consultations and give suggestions on how we will improve the lives of Nairobians," he said.
The governor assured that he is ready to work with all leaders irrespective of their political affiliations.
"Leaders who were elected by the people of Nairobi should not be worried about my style of leadership because I am ready to work with everyone including Passaris for the purpose of developing Nairobi County," noted the Jubilee governor.
Sonko insisted that he will not condone corrupt workers since graft will derail development in the county.
"I won't be afraid sacking corrupt county workers engaging in corruption," he noted.
He urged the electorates to report any form of corruption to authorities.
Sonko was speaking on Saturday during the Mashujaa Day Celebration at Pumwani Grounds in Kamukunji.
