Former Nairobi governor Evans Kidero has claimed that his successor Mike Sonko is a slave under the control of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Kidero has said that Sonko has no control over the affairs of the county and was only ‘showboating for the cameras’.
“Sonko is a slave to his masters in Jubilee who make all the decisions at City Hall and as such all he has left to do is criticise and showboat for the cameras. That is what led the President to assume that I was also taking my instructions from Raila."
Speaking on Sunday, Kidero said that Sonko has no seriousness of running the county.
"Running the county is serious business and if Sonko wants to succeed he better get serious,” said Kidero.
Kidero further dismissed reports that the county was now collecting Sh38 million in revenue per day as claimed by Governor Mike Sonko.
“The increase in revenue being bandied around is all lies. We know that seasonal parking tickets for the 30, 000 matatus in Nairobi is paid in the first week of the month and so it is not a surprise that the money was collected. It has been collected in every first week of the month,” he said.
