Kenyans React To Sonko's Latest Stroke Of Genius

Mike Sonko's decision to surrender the leadership of the county government of Nairobi City County to the national government has caught many by surprise. This move is seen as his way of avoiding the impending impeachment motion against him.

The woes of the governor started when the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission officers arrested him on a runway at the coast. The corruption charges preferred against him saw him lose the privilege of accessing his city council offices. He has been running the city from Upperhill ever since.

Here's what Kenyans on Twitter had to say about this new development.

I think thr decision of recalling nairoby county govt to be a nationak govt function is debatable in parliament . Our leaders should be held accountable if the law is broken .

I warned the people of Nairobi against electing Sonko but you hurled insults at me. Pambana na hali yenu. #Sonko

I hope with this Nairobi County thing we realize that this is an assault on democracy. Nairobi wasn't Sonko's property to sign off. If he didn't want to be governor any more we should have a by-election. The people of Nairobi should decide.https://t.co/G5h0V0Fmov
