Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja has revealed that plans are underway to initiate talks between Governor Mike Sonko and his deputy Polycarp Igathe.
Sakaja said he is hopeful that the planned talks will yield fruit.
“Politics is the art of the possible. I am sure the differences between the two leaders cannot be beyond us; at least I am aware that it is nothing personal between both of them. But let it be understood that it is normal for governors and their deputies to have minor issues or differences which in turn can be solved.
“What I think is that the direction Igathe decided to take was a bit premature. He could have at least tried to explore other avenues like within the party or within the county assembly. Resigning should have been the last resort,” said Sakaja during an interview with Capital news.
This is after Igathe resigned last Friday claiming he had failed to earn the trust of Governor Sonko in running the affairs of the county.
