Sonko Says He was Drunk When He Surrendered Nairobi County to Uhuru
Governor Mike Sonko has claimed that he was not sober when he surrendered four key Nairobi county government functions to the national government.
Sonko alleged that he was served alcohol at State House before signing the Deed of Transfer of Functions from the Nairobi City County Government to the National Government on February 25th, 2020.
He was responding to a Facebook user who asked him to stop fighting the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS), which was created by President Kenyatta to run the four functions.
"Mr. Sonko, when you signed the agreement, I believe you were sober and well informed. With due respect, kindly let the NMS perform their duties," the Facebook user named Aloo Denish stated.
But in response, Governor Sonko noted that he was not in the right state of mind as he was intoxicated.
"I was not sober. Hawa watu wa State House waliniconfuse na pombe kwanza (The people at State House confused me with some alcohol) by the time I was meeting the President for the signing, I was just seeing zigzag," Sonko said.
"However, even if I was drunk, I had to sign because of the respect I have for the president."
Sonko accused NMS director-general Major General Mohamed Badi of intimidating him and failing to follow the law in the execution of his duty.
"...huyu jeshi akiendelea by not complying with the law then they better impeach me just like Waititu but I will not entertain his intimidation anymore. He's forgetting this is just a contract and it can be terminated at any stage..."
NMS is in charge of the four functions namely health; transport and public works; utilities and ancillary services; and planning and development.

Nairobi county has elected officials like MCA’s.
What are they being paid to do?
Nobody voted for Badi. He’s a fraudster.

Lesson learned here or not Mr. Sonko? Never indulge in alcohol before important functions. And this applies to all people.

How many other decisions have you made while "drunk"? I also didn't know you had a choice on whether to give it up or not - remember, it's not your personal property

Ningependa kujua, Je, Ndugu Wafula Chebukati alijua tabia nyingi za ajabu za Ndugu Sonko kabla ya kumruhusu kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi nchini?
Je, Wafula amesoma Sura ya Sita ya Katiba yetu mpya ya Kenya? Kusema kweli, hatuwezi kuwalaumu viongozi wengine wetu tulio nao sasa walio na tabia za ajabu kwa sababu waliruhusiwa na Wafula kugombea kiti walicho nacho sasa!
Ni mapenzi yangu kumwona Ndugu Wafula Chebukati akistaafishwa mara moja kabla ya uchaguzi wa 2022 kwa manufaa ya umma kwa sababu ameshika mkononi mwake ufunguo wa kuijenga au kuiboa nchi yetu kulingana na watu ambao atakaowaruhusu kugombea kiti chochote nchini cha uongozi.
Sisi sote tunajua ya kwamba, viongozi wetu wote tulio nao sasa (wazuri na wabaya), wameshikilia hatamu ya uongozi kwa sababu ya mtu mmoja tu: NDUGU WAFULA CHEBUKATI.

Nairobi county has elected officials. What is there job?
NMS should let Nairobi elected officials to do there job.
Nairobi county has been a slum long before Sonko arrived.

I second your concerns! Kenya voters have an appetite for electing useless People. Then they turn around and begin to complain! Trey will make the same mistake with Ruto and while everything is stolen, the will start complaining!
