Aspiring Nairobi governor Peter Kenneth has told off Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko over his "epic hooliganism" and "gangster politics".
Speaking when he was endorsed by the Muslim community in Nairobi, Kenneth termed Sonko's frolics foolish, saying they are not in the same competition.
"A lot of times we get provoked and people say 'Why don't you respond? Why don't you react?' And I keep saying if we react to foolish acts people will not notice the difference. We will confuse the fraternity more," Kenneth was quoted by the Star.
He added: "We are different. I offer leadership, he offers hooliganism; I offer a way forward, what he offers is cheerleading to groups of gangs and encouraging gangs. I went through some school, perhaps some school went through him. But we should not score own goals. We should score goals on the other side."
The former Gatanga MP said he is confident that he will banish Sonko from the politics adding that the Dagoretti incident where Sonko and his supporters disrupted a football match is an example of the Senator's 'foolish' leadership.
He said his only opponent is the incumbent, Evans Kidero, whom he accused of running down the city bringing it to its knees.
