The sudden death of Kariobangi North MCA Hon. Joel Munuve has sent shockwaves across Nairobi, with leaders and residents mourning the loss of a dedicated leader.
Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko led the tributes, offering condolences to Munuve’s family, the county assembly, and the Nairobi government.
However, it was the emotional reactions in the comments section that stole the spotlight, with one follower making a passionate plea for Sonko’s return to leadership.
Under Sonko’s post, user Nyaga dropped a heartfelt message, saying Sonko, how I just wish there is a way you could come back. You are a destiny helper with immense humanity and not a killer.
The comment quickly drew attention, reigniting debates about Sonko’s legacy and his philanthropic efforts during his time in office.
Other mourners, like Kiki and Janet Wamuyu, shared simple but touching condolences, while Maureen Odegi reminisced about Munuve’s early days in politics, saying this guy was my favorite leader from when he started vying. Death has no sympathy indeed.
While the focus remained on honoring Munuve’s service, Nyaga’s comment stirred a wave of nostalgia and political discourse. Many netizens agreed, praising Sonko’s hands-on approach to helping Nairobi’s vulnerable residents.
Others, however, questioned whether his leadership style was truly what the county needed.
As Nairobi mourns Munuve, the unexpected call for Sonko’s return adds a dramatic twist—will this tragedy rekindle his political influence? Only time will tell.
Rest in peace, Hon. Joel Munuve.
