Jubilee Party’s candidate for Nairobi governorship Mike Sonko has said he will ensure Nairobi rises to greatness again once elected governor.
Breaking down components of his manifesto, Sonko listed seven priorities to fix in the county if voters trust him at the helm.
In his manifesto that is scheduled to be unveiled today at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Sonko names the seven as governance, education and health, housing and settlement, traffic management and transport, environment, jobs and social inclusion.
The senator says at the onset of his document that despite the city’s problems, “Nairobi does not need new cynics or critics”.
"She needs vision and action. She needs leaders driven by the need to banish the long suffering and despair brought about by mismanagement, incompetence and corruption,” he says.
“The spirit of this manifesto is that Nairobi can be great again. Nairobi can be a regional leader again. That working hand in hand with you, the residents of Nairobi, we will raise Nairobi out of the ashes”.
“We will replace all irregularly and illegally obtained contracts, including Web-Tribe’s extortionist payment system, Jambo-Pay,” he says.
