#ChangeofGuardKe : Sonko Takes Over At City Hall.
The inauguration ceremony was presided over by H. E President Uhuru Kenyatta who was accompanied by his deputy, Hon. William Ruto at Uhuru Park.
The ceremony was attended by various government officials and the outgoing Nairobi County Governor, Dr Evans Kidero and his deputy Jonathan Mueke who handed over power to the newly elected Governor, Mike Sonko and his deputy Polycarp Igathe.
Looking at Mike Sonko as a senator and a legislator in the past years, his performance record is clear. He performed well as a member of Parliament for Makadara and helped the youth by opening up various initiatives to help them earn a living.
Sonko has been passionate about things that affect people living in Nairobi and the country at large. He has helped in reclaiming grabbed land for people living in Nairobi, paid hospital bills, paid school fees for needy children and also supplied water to residents living in slams. Just to mention a few.
Despite the number of cases linking him, Sonko has been on the forefront in helping the common Mwanainchi live a better life. He has always fought for the poor and helped needy children achieve their dreams.
In his speech, he said Nairobi has been in the hands of cartels who held it’s people hostage and he’s ready to transform and make it a great city in Africa at large.
Nairobi has been on the verge of corruption. Sonko has questioned the outgoing Governor, Dr Evans Kidero a number of times on resource management in the city.
Recently, Sonko started Operation Ng’arisha Nairobi a move that is set to clean every corner of the city. He has since collected garbage, worked on sewages and cleaned up markets within the city.
Sonko has a very good manifesto for Nairobi and in his first 100 days in office, we expect a great change in the city including a reduction in parking fee and many more.
He concluded his speech by thanking Nairobi residents for believing in him and he can not let them down. He’s ready to transform Nairobi County and will be held accountable after 5 years.
Hongera Governor Sonko.

Breaking: Busia Gubernatorial Nomination Results Nullified As Nominated Senator Elizabeth Ongoro Defects To ANC
ODM nomination exercise kicked off yesterday in three counties, Busia, Bungoma and Machakos after the exercise was rescheduled last week.
Funyula MP Paul Otuoma set to unseat the incumbent Busia Governor Sospeter Ojaamong by clinching the ODM ticket. But despite an early lead in the nomination results, Otuoma was later defeated by Ojaamong with over 30,000 votes.
The results have since been nullified by NEB due to irregularities and the exercise is set to be repeated on Tuesday 25th as the other results remain as announced.
This is comes in after ODM nominated Senator Elizabeth Ongoro’s defection to Musalia Mudavadi’s ANC party after she was barred from contesting the Ruaraka Parliamentary seat due to her demonstrations at the Orange House. ODM disciplinary committee fined her Ksh. 1 million with his party member and Migori Governor, Okoth Obado Ksh. 2 million.
ODM has recently cracked the whip on party members who engage hooliganism and violent campaigns which tint the party’s name and ideologies. A good example for other parties to follow in order to maintain peace and harmony in our country.
SULTAN JOHO : “I know I will be vindicated once again and this will never deter me from pursuing the transformation agenda for my people” .
Mombasa Governor, (Sultan) Ali Hassan Joho
Mombasa Governor, Ali Hassan Joho popularly known as Sultan Joho‘s problems deepen day after another. His recent wars with President Kenyatta is a clear indication that Mombasa politics are taking shape as Jubilee is hunting for coastal votes.
Recently, Sultan Joho was accused of evading tax and KRA directed Stanbic Bank to freeze his six accounts.
In fresh claims, Sultan Joho is being accused of faking his KCSE certificate and his degree. In his first certificate, Joho is said to have sat for his KNEC exams on the year 1992 and scored a C-. KNEC has so far come out with his results in which it is indicated that Joho sat for his KCSE in the year 1993 and scored a D-. The same KNEC that cleared him to vie for governorship in 2013.
- Who is behind the forgery?
Joho was ordered to appear at the Regional DCI Headquarters in Mombasa today but later replied thorough a letter that he’ll appear on Wednesday due to what he termed as confided prior commitments. Joho in a tweet said “I know I will be vindicated once again and this will never deter me from pursuing the transformation agenda for my people” .
The recent disruption of Joho’s rally in Kinango citing lack of notification clearly indicate how tight the battle for coastal votes is. Both Jubilee and NASA have severally held political rallies in Mombasa to get the numbers come August 8th general elections.
2. Who is ‘fighting’ Sultan Joho?
This battle has been intensified as Joho campaigns to counter Jubilee forays in the coast. The allegations of faking his degree and KCSE certificate are said to be politically driven to ‘kill’ him politically now that he’s seeking re-election for the moment gubernatorial seat come August.
Joho’s vision is to be the president of the Republic of Kenya come 2022 when he’ll battle out against Deputy President William Ruto.
