Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko Opens Up on Celebrating Christmas in Prison

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has opened up on how he once celebrated his Christmas while behind the bars.

Speaking on Christmas eve when he hosted children from across Nairobi County at City Hall, Sonko briefly narrated his time in prison and painted the positive side of Kenyans spending their time in detention.

“Prison Christmas celebrations still lingers in my mind. I had friends who used to visit me while I was in prison, not because of my family background but because they were generous,” said Sonko.

“We used to share what we got amongst all of us regardless of tribe, religion or clan,” said Mr Sonko.

Recently, Sonko confirmed he had been jailed at Shimo La Tewa in Mombasa prison in 1998 after a land transfer deal he was involved in went soar.

“I am an orphan. When I go down on my knees I pray for every Kenyan. We should share with whatever we have,” he said on Sunday.

“I love helping the poor . That’s what keeps me where I am.” he added.

Sonko should know that there are those who spend their Christmas in hospital beds without hope unlike him who was at SHIMO on drug haul charges.He should stop lying about the land deal.He must also tell us the amount of bribe his expired father paid to prosecutors,majambazi Wako and Tobiko to finish both cases,i.e,DRUG and PRISON BREAK charges.

98% of jubilee government are criminals and that’s why we have illegitimacy president currently.From ICC scandals and bribery of the witnesses some were killed and including the recent killings of IT manager Chris Musando to retain power by force. Kenyan leadership is ruled by criminals.The mount Kenya MAFIA.The only reason they have not killed Raila is that they know that if they did kill him sit will be the end of Kenya as a republic.Kenya will engulf into flames.It is sad that every election year election has to be manipulated.Kenya is going to drainage being lead by thugs.Ruto is the most corrupt DP in history of Kenya and that’s why you see him flashing 12 million in cash when the common kenyan is starving and what AMERE’s me is that uhuruto still say that God is The Who helped them win and I wonder which Hod surely likes stealing and killings of Musando,Which kind of God do uhuruto worship?
