Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi alias Sonko on Tuesday night revealed that he had told the The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) that corruption should not be fought selectively.
Sonko who had earlier on during the day appeared before the anti-graft body for interrogation, claimed that national unity is key in eradicating corruption which he felt was being fought selectively.
"As I faced @EACCKenya officers today as per their invitations, I told them that corruption should not be fought selectively. We must get united as a nation in fighting these vices, Sonko's tweet read.
The governor further pointed out that the allegations facing him will not bar him from serving the people of Nairobi county.
"Intimidation, criminalization, divide and rule tactics won’t stop me from serving the great people of Nairobi. We know where we are and where we have come from," Governor Sonko stated in another tweet.
In a video attached to the tweet through a Facebook link, the governor addressed the media questioning why he was the only governor being summoned four times in one month, yet there were other counties he felt there was more corruption than in Nairobi county.
Sonko was interrogated by the EACC on allegations of excluding some of the details including court cases in the self-declaration form while he was contesting for the gubernatorial seat in Nairobi county.
Disputing the allegations, he has however termed the latest move by the EACC as a witch-hunt and intimidation that has been fueled by his rivals.
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino who was also present during the address supported Governor Sonko and urged the government to stop frustrating the Nairobi governor.
