Embattled former governor Mike Sonko doesn’t understand why he and his family have been barred from travelling to the states.
In a statement, he said, “I’ve not been convicted on any corruption-related charges because the cases are still pending in court awaiting judgement. There are only two governors who’ve been charged in a court of law for giving tenders to their wives and kids but not me.
None of my family members was ever awarded any tender by the county when I was in office and it’s in the public domain, the embassy should come out publicly and tell Kenyans the truth.”
Adding, “My wife and kids have never supplied even a spoon or toilet paper to city hall either directly or indirectly. At 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.”
An angry Sonko asked, “Why is this coming out a day after I said that I’ll be defending my seat in August? Why are the biggest known thieves of COVID-19 and KEMSA being spared and they’re the ones who’ve committed the biggest corruption scandals in the country?”
