Nairobi Women Representative candidate on an ODM ticket Esther Passaris has claimed that the government is funding the Sonko Rescue Team.

According to Passaris, the organisation was being funded in order to frustrate the re-election campaign of Governor Evans Kidero.

"...and of course, they are giving the other thing called the Sonko Rescue Team a lot of money on the side to do a few things here and there,” she told journalists after a service at PCEA on Sunday.

Last month, the team was registered as an NGO last month.

It carries out a number of services in the capital but it has been said these should be the county's responsibility.
