“Memories are made of these,” Sonko wrote, detailing the emotional reunion. He revealed that the meeting was more than just a gathering; it was a celebration of friendship, legacy, and shared history. The group included Chris Musau, the renowned proprietor of Maanzoni Lodge and 680 Hotel in Nairobi, and Patrick Mwangangi, the owner of Sisu Hotel at Machakos Junction and Connections in Mlolongo, who hosted the gathering.
