Polycarp Igathe Resigns as Nairobi Deputy Governor

oh oh Sonko and Nairobi county in hot soup . what next what is the next step who will replace him.

I never saw it coming. Arranged marriage has fallen apart.

Maybe Igathe refused to be a drug courier because Sonko was paying peanuts for the dangerous job.But he could have become an agent/supplier and be paid on commission basis instead

Igathe is a genuine man who has no intention of being corrupted. And you thought the garbage was at its peak, not at all. Where is the corrupt Kidero when you need him cos Sonko is both corrupt and illiterate.

Huge crazy scandle on igathe about to be exposed .. his wife moved out 2 weeks ago .. igathe might even move out of kenya when he gets exposed

I wonder why Igathe,a genuine degree holder accepted to deputize a devil,drug dealer with a fake one.The same goes to Kalonzo,Nyoro etc.All i know is that you have to be a thief/criminal/corrupt to work with Sonko and other thugs.He may also have expected a huge loot.

Where there is smoke there is fire.It was just a few weeks ago where Sonko was abusing everybody posting photos of him and his buddy Igathe to dispel any fallout..This Sonko is either a total disaster or very sly.If Igathe was suppose to "run things" to appease the Nairobi business elite he either took it upon himself to make Igathe resign or things are so bad in Nairobi that Igathe realised it is a waste of time and there was no money to be made.
All in all Nairobi will go down as the laughing stock of all counties .Sasa Nairobi business community mtadoo nini, will you let Sonko finally run things or look for another puppet to ensure your cartels stay put.Yenyewe Nairobi mtajua hamjui?

Igate was the imposed Nairibi deputy Governor, he and jubilee failed to outwit Sonko and there you dont have it!

Igathe is truly a circumcised fellow n a great maumau.Not corrupt at all n this is what good leaders do!Resign n keep yr good name.Baba should go visit igathe for advice of putting Kenyans first n maturity!Pple don’t have to die in politics coz there is s better life out there than politics.Igathe wish u all the best!

People are saying Sonko is paranoia he sleeps in Mombasa and fly to Nairobi every morning. He is saying people want to kill him

What happened within hours of a TV interview in which Igathe seemingly was articulating their performance? Neither the fanatics nor faint-hearted have a place in dynamic politics of a metropolis that is Nairobi. A name or ability is nothing without opportunity. In today's politics, a leaders ability to be flexible and negotiate through ambiguity is what is paramount. This is a classical difference between a leader and a manager. As once put "resignation is not a virtue"-good riddance!

@Oneday, I couldn't agree more... unless, of course, there is a story we don't know...

"....a leader's ability to be flexible and negotiate through ambiguity is what is paramount..."

The Akombe's of this world are not what Kenya needs now, we need people who are more experienced and can take the process of negotiation without ego, fear and/or favour...for the sake of the country....taking into account that the stakeholders they serve vary in their needs and wants. Some people are just Managers who can only operate after all is set and dry.
