Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV on Wednesday night, Ahmednasir slammed Sonko for allegedly sleeping on the job at the expense of the taxpayers.

He argued that Sonko was busy wining and dining when the county government was on the verge of collapse, adding that he is unfit for power.

“I said before that Honourable Governor Sonko will go to prison smiling and without any regrets… he has had great fun for too long … at our expense,” he stated. 

"Nairobi Governor Sonko’s arrest showed how weak the Government is because the government had to mobilize 300 – 400 officers for Sonko to appear in court as he has a counterforce to the state," he added.

Sonko was freed on Sh15 million cash bail and barred from accessing office.
