Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has taken a hit at government officials attached to president Uhuru Kenyatta and said they are working to see him fail as Nairobi governor.
Sonko criticised the unnamed officials and asked them why they wanted to see him go down yet President Uhuru Kenyatta was supporting his leadership.
"Now they are just doing diversionary tactics, character assassination and at the same time they are calling for disbandment of Nairobi county. Why do you want me to go home within five months? Why don't you give me time? Why don't you come and help me?" he said during a TV interview.
He insisted that there was one specific individual scheming his failure.
"You one person fighting me in government, if the president is helping me who are you to fight me?" the angry governor said.
