Governor Mike Sonko has addressed reports that he has tendered his resignation as the Nairobi County boss.
Sonko was forced to make a quick press release as a letter surfaced and claimed he had been frustrated by the national government hence chosen to quit.
The letter was communicating the decision to the Nairobi County Assembly.
He has however rubbished the letter as claimed is being circulated by a coalition of cartels.
“My attention has been drawn to a fake letter dated 23rd July addressed to the speaker of the County Assembly ostensibly communicating my resignation as the Governor of Nairobi citing various pedestrian reasons for the same,” Sonko said.
“This is to state categorically that the said letter is a forgery and has not emanated from me and is a pack of lies and conjecture and clearly orchestrated by a coalition of cartels including politicians,” he added.
The governor said he has heeded President Uhuru Kenyatta’s call for leaders to end politicking and focus on serving the people.
“I have relegated to concentrate on embarking on service delivery instead of empty rhetoric and unnecessary politicking while heeding H.E the President's advice, so I will not descend to the level of haters, he said.
