Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko says operations at the Nairobi County Government will continue despite the resignation of his deputy, Polycarp Igathe.

Speaking in Mombasa, Sonko downplayed Igathe’s resignation stating that there are many qualified personnel within City Hall.He, however, stated that he is going to consult Nairobi residents and the Jubilee Party leadership in the ongoing reconciliation efforts.

“I was an MP and a Senator in Nairobi together with God there is no shortfall of qualified personnel. We will serve the residents of Nairobi anddeliver our mandate,” he said.

“We will also consult them and join together with other Jubilee leaders to look at the way forward," he added.

Igathe quit his post last week claiming that he has failed to earn Governor Sonko’s trust.
