A bullet proof vest on, retinue of bodyguards circling around him, favourite apple juice on the side and tones of City Hall financial records on the table, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko cuts a defiant image when we caught up with him Friday. He has not stepped in his office for the whole week. He is complaining about the reduction of security. And Friday, he was wondering why President Uhuru Kenyatta has chosen to keep quiet as his allies continue to fight him.
Cornered by deluge of critics in powerful places, Sonkohas retreated to his Mua Hills farm, located up in the hill with an ample view of the city and its glittery suburbs. “Any county can impeach their boss, but what mistake have I committed? Nairobi is a unique county; it cannot be transformed into a Dubai in six months. I have kept cool for long enough so if they want us to play politics, it is game on,” he declared. As he shot from his hips from his Mua Hills fortress, Jubilee MCAs in Nairobi were telling off State House: “We have no intention or motivation to impeach Governor Sonko. The procedure of removing a governor is clearly stated in the law,” Majority Leader Abdi Guyo said from City Hall. What started as a fight for control of City Hall between former Deputy Governor Polycarp Igathe has now transformed into an all-out war within the Jubilee Party. On one side are hardliners allied to President Kenyatta determined to teach the Governor a lesson or two about city politics.
