Top Kenyan UN Official Bashes Nairobians for Choosing Mike Sonko Over Peter Kenneth as their Governor

Sonko should resign.

Mukisa,iam not even going to address you as Dr.There was election and Narobians picked their candidate.Its not even ayear and you are on Sonko.Let him finish his term then assess the results.Thats what Nairobians did after giving kidero achance.And you wondering if kidero lost because he is aluo ,revisit his record.Luos did not elect kidero-Nairobians did.If peter has workable solutions to what troubles Nairobians,I am Sonko would listen to them.Or you for that matter.Nairobi has too many problems that did not start yesterday,and will take alongtime and money to solve.It if was easy it would have been done long time ago

Mr Mukhisa Kituyi, you do not need to bash Nairobians. They made a choice not you. It's a democracy. When people make a choice, they will change that choice when time comes and when they deem it necessary. How can you bash a multitude of people and dare tell them they made the wrong choice. Give the person elected a chance to perform and tell your good candidate if he has any good suggestions to forward them to Sonko. He wanted to serve the people. He can still do so by offering suggestions to the current governor while he is waiting for next elections. The will of a people cannot be changed by one individual. Let's all give the necessary support to Sonko and wish him well as he performs.

Sonko connects to majority of Nairobi people. Peter Kenneth does not connect to big number of people in Nairobi. He better try is luck in Murang'a next time. Sonko has no idea of what to do or where to start but if he run in 2022 for the same position he will win.

@Maxiley now you are twisting what the Dr said. He said it's not up to him what Nairobians chose. He is simply stating his opinion which is simply different from those who see Sonko in a different view. If I may add to the Dr's msg; since when did a blind person lead a person with a 20/20 eyesight? Answer: only when the 20\20 eyesight person believes they are blind.
On a serious note Mailey, you know very well what our colonial masters do when they want a country like ours to do their dirty laundry or when they want to get that gold, diamond, tourism, oil,tea from you? They study hard what they will give you for free and then lowball you and get your stuff for a penny to the dollar. They get their financial and political advisers and figure exactly how they will get deal with you. Of course they "lobby" and give you bread spread with processed avocado from your garden and go home happy but what about the country?

35-40 years ago, we were on the same economic level as was South Korea. Today, we are still matching on the same spot while South Korea has become an economic giant. The reason is simple; electing Sonkos and Rutos and then we keep complaining after we elect them. Put people in places they can do well and understand. Why would the president retire a major general and then make him in charge of Kenya Airways just to give an example.

Nairobians elected Igathe and Sonko ticket Not Sonko alone. If there is anyone to be blamed its Igathe who let Nairobians down.Down with Igathe. I can only hope Sonko will elect a competent DG to complement him. He has said it will be a lady. Competence is what is needed most.

Right. Kidero messed up Nairobi, with all his papers to show. Sonko might have not shown much leadership, this far, he has no papers to show either, but it would be easier to explain Sonko's non-performance, when the time comes, than Kidero's.

Oh how hopeful Kenyans were when Kidero was elected....a super educated guy...who had just messed Mumias Sugar and was handed an opportunity to redeem himself in the eyes of Kenyans...but nada. Kenyans, I included, are a screwed lot...damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Are educated people better performers than the less educated?

I am sure Sonko has refused to take your bribe and give you some of those contracts they give. You are a bitter man.

@maxiley @anonymous ui u have written well n I ment to say the same thing.Bravo bravo guys for heating the nail on the head.
I personally still think Sonko will do a good job n I will judge him after 3 years coz that kinda enough time to b familiar with what is rotten n start to provide beta solutions which should b seen by many of us who leaves in n around Nairobi.
Peter Kenneth did a good job when he was gatanga mp but that he lost his brains thinking he can win Nairobi against Sonko who had helped many constituencies around Nairobi who loves him.Politics is about the numbers thou it should b followed by development minded leaders.Dr Kituyi u were one of my favourite leaders I admire but yr comment was out of order.Majority of the pple made choice so let’s them leave with it.U don’t get born n same day start walking or eating githeri so let’s give Sonko time.

I am not a fan of Sonko... in fact I detest his thug mentality. But before the illiterate Sonko, there was a whole doctor ( who was corrupt to the bone and just as incompetent) as governor of Nairobi. What are Nairobians to do? They were hoping that a cunning street-wise politician with scare away grabbers and garbage unlike his predecessor, the educated thief.

We, the people of Africa need to sit down and work together to solve our challenging issues. When the IEBC clears people with a questionable past, what do you expect?

We have allowed foreign institutions developed by other minds to be part of our solutions in meeting our very extremely challenging issues.

Let us have the courage to admit that a man of "Sonko's" background is totally incapable of solving or dealing with Nairobi's problems.

We (the people of Kenya) must meet together as equals without looking into our languages and cultures of origin to deal with our pressing issues.We must get rid of the "CID" that means: Christianity, Islam, and Democracy. These foreign institutions were not meant for the Africans people, land, and economy! They were meant to divide us and make it almost impossible for us to get along or sit together at the table of sharing ideas or brainstorming in order to forge ahead together as Kenyans.

Well, I’ll believ this BS after Sonko loots Billions of shillings. Give the guy some time. So impatient you prefer a thief over a reformer and a no experience peter Kenneth? Gimme a break!
