The Nairobi County senator and governor hopeful, Mike Sonko like many Kenyan leaders is not as one sided as many Kenyans see him.
Apparently, there is more to him that meets the eye and he has had alarming number of corruption and crime related fracas revolving around him.
Two brothers and a State investigator claim Nairobi Senator Gideon Mbuvi Sonko acted as an intermediary in an illegal sale of a Sh29 million plot of land in Mombasa.
Consequently, Mombasa chief magistrate, Julius Nang’ea has now summoned him to testify in the same case in which Afzal Ahmedali Shah is charged with illegally selling the land and forging a title deed.
On their report dated March 20, 2015, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) lists Mike Sonko as one of the people being investigated allegedly over a tender at the Kenya Pipeline Company.
A CIA release dated December 2010 names the senator as a leading Drug Lord in Kenya and thus confirms the is rumors that he has spent his youth committing petty crimes in Mombasa.
Mike ‘Sonko’ Mbuvi is being accused of conspiring to defraud a German couple of a luxurious hotel in Malindi reportedly valued at Sh1 billion.
Senior advocate, Ahmednasir Abdullahi in a series of tweets fired on Friday, May 15 sensationally accused Sonko of “being a broker in the corridors of justice selling judgements at a premium.”
This came after Malindi High Court ordered a German couple to surrender their hotel to a former Kenyan employee but sooner or later, an employee sold the hotel to a company that allegedly belongs to Sonko, with attached documents to that effect proving that Sonko as principal shareholder of the company.
Mike Sonko has intensively invested in multimillion shillings property across the country. He has built a multi-million shillings mansion in Mua Hills, Maanzoni, Machakos County.
He also owns lots of property in the Coastal City of Mombasa and in Malindi town.
