Former Nairobi governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has joined Steven Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper Democratic Movement party as a life member.
Mike Sonko was welcomed by Kalonzo usyoka at the Wiper party headquarter with reports revealing that he will be eyeing the Machakos gubernatorial seat on Kalonoz’s party.
However, the move by Mike Sonko to defect to Wiper is a big win to the Azimio coalition since Kalonzo already endorsed Raila Odinga’s presidency.
Mike Sonko had been an ardent supporter of the deputy president William samoei Ruto and it remains unclear why he has chosen to abandon the second in command.
This comes just weeks after the former Nairobi governor was banned by the United States of America from stepping foot in their country due to rampant corruption cases on his head.
However, the defiant former governor castigated the US government for witch-hunt since he was not the only corrupt figure in the country. He added that he will go to other countries such as Dubai if the US did not want him.
“I am urging the USA to investigate their ambassador and focus on fighting PUTIN who’s killed millions of innocent lives in Ukraine just the way they went for Osama bin laden,” the former Governor said, adding that the US Embassy in Nairobi is thankless for the efforts he put to demolish a building under construction in its neighbourhood when he was in office.
“Least the American embassy forget that I am the one who helped them demolish a building next to their embassy that had become a nuisance for them even after exposing the owner who was trying to bribe me with Ksh. 100M. The previous governor had not helped them bring it down because of his corruptness,” he said
