Political analyst and Lawyer Brian Weke now says that Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is being wrongly blamed.
This comes amid an ongoing exchange between the Governor and the ruling Jubilee Party Deputy Chairman David Murathe following Murathe's recent remarks that the bloc will spearhead his impeachment for performing dismally.
Speaking on Radio Jambo Saturday, however, Weke faulted the blame, maintaining that the government must concentrate on keeping the promises it gave to Kenyans before assuming power in 2013 before going for the county chief.
''Jubilee should stop attacking and blaming Sonko and instead set a good example by delivering on its own promises. There is no way Murathe can accuse Sonko of performing dismally when the central government has performed even worse,'' he said.
Weke further defended the Governor, calling upon his critics to grant him more time and space to carry out his operations.
He said that his short stay at the helm of the county is not enough to realize his entire manifesto.
''He is still new to the post and needs more time to realize his dreams for the county. Let him be given the time he needs,'' he added.
This comes only days after Sonko nominated embattled lawyer Miguna Miguna as his deputy, a move likely to spark more reactions between him and the Jubilee leadership.
