Nairobi's Marble Arch Hotel Earmarked for Demolition

Jamani Sonko…..language bwana, you are a leader, kids are looking up to you. That clip is shameful..

Sukari, true, he’s a bit rough on the edges, however, at least somome is fighting for common folk, this has never happened in Kenya.

This maybe a grudge between Sonko and Maina. Maybe. It could also mean exactly what the story says. That Marble Arch is built without approval. If so, it can be regularlized. Or demolished if there are structural issues. Moving from this, What I know, is that there is way too much impunity in my country of birth. It annoys me. We have laws. But they are often bent to serve the privileged. Those with money; a lot of which was stolen through irregular tenders Or plain thuggery. We have people trying to do the right thing. But they end up being the victims. It is wrong, and that is where I say I agree with many like Guest1, Imara, Dirty Diana, Koni Hanene, Mugikuyu, and many others when they admonish this clueless government of ours, which never seems to prosecute lawlessness even when the evidence is overwhelming. My only wish is that there would arise a charimatic leader from our midst. Like MLK, or Mandela, or Nkrumah. Or even someone like Mohammed Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank. He knew empowering will women was the answer to eliminating poverty. To give us impetus to fight for country. It put it on the right path.

Sonko,Sonko,hata wewe ni hatari bwana.Umefanya jamaa karibu ajikojolee.Lakini kweli Kenya inataka leaders kama wewe.Why lie?

I personally listened to the clip n i don't think it is that serious!Pple voted for sonko knowing very well this is him coz we saw him with dramas akiwa mpig,senators so why r citizens of nairobi yapping knowing very well this is how sonko can behave so to me sonko never surprises me with his character at all?But we have to fight this corrupt thugs who have stollen public property using any means.U cannot fight corruption talking or treating this thugs in a good way,so yes using language ingine not nice as a leader but to me aslong as the public stuff comes back to public i don't care whether we use the guns to shot this thugs or bad mouth is used?Kwani hizi vitu wameimba nizamama zao.

this is the monster nairobian elected hope nothing like this will ever happen again

Let the common folk get his due.Punda amechoka.Good job bwana Governor

Good Job Bwana governor.Let the common folk get his due.Punda Amechoka!!!!!

If sonko is so sure that Maina is flaunting the law, why not have him jailed?That's the only way to slow down the Mainas of Kenya.
The effective way to handle this is to speak authoritatively, commandingly,and lower the boom on Maina.In other words, speak softly,but carry abig stick.
Speaking insultingly,and disparagingly like sonko did only makes his opponents question is IQ.Having said this, anywhich way that would bring welcome results to wananchi is fine by me.

I fully agree with those who applaud Sonko for weeding out the cartels, etc... lakini I have an issue with his delivery. C'mon guys, the language is at best primitive and crude. I found myself cringing at the sound of a grown assed man shouting at the top of his voice and down a phone line obscenities, kumbafu, etc..... a little like a little child kicking a tantrum and throwing their toys out of their pram. He could do better and I think he could refine his language. I also think we have a moral obligation to emulate behaviour reflective of the role accorded to us especially if in civil service. It's plain nasty and rude! Just saying.

Corruption does not know civility or order of doing things and so it deserves all the force, ambush and awe.
Sonko was quick thinking and rushed that guy before he started "brothering" him. That is a battle ground and you do not discuss or be gentle with the enemy. Exposure is one thing thieves hate the most, they prefer being arrested than exposed to the public. My folks have a saying that " it loathes the one who shouts its presence". Another saying is that when you go to collect from your debtors, do not take a seat i.e don't entertain them; otherwise they will sweet-talk you through a cup of tea and will never pay. Add the heat gov. Sonko and smoke them out.

tubaki na building less Nai lakini ziwe genuine more power Gorverner Sonko

O.K seeing here spport for Sonko and his ghetto approach, I guess maybe I am out of touch. Folks, maybe you are right.... language,manners have no place in this generation of politicians. After all, it is not that long ago that a certain someone called the president mtoto wa umbwa while Raila urged his followers to remove their knickers, withhold marital privileges…….aiii… the list is endless! I would like to see the reaction though of the same supporters when their kids come home and retaliate by hurling unmentionable abuse at their parents/siblings or peers. I don't belong.. and yes, I admit I am out of touch.

Why do we assume that every rich Kenyan is a thief? This is Sonko as usual playing to the gallery. There is a reason why leaders are required to have a certain level of education, hata kama ni ngumbaru. Hapana tukanana kama kumbafu na wewe ni kiongozi.

Let us not demolish people's houses we didn't help them to built.

Dada Sukari, baada ya kusikiliza lugha chafu ambayo Ndugu Sonko alitumia kwenye simu, nimeamua ya kwamba, Sonko hafai kuwa kiongozi hata kidogo.

Ni bora jiji la Nairobi liwe chini ya mamlaka ya serikali kuu badala ya kuwa chini ya gavana.
