Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has hit out at President Uhuru
Kenyatta over his recent remarks on the city’s leadership during his recent
tour of Pumwani.
Speaking in Pumwani last week, the President noted that he
is keen to fulfill his service delivery promise to Nairobians, adding that
anyone trying to stand in the way of his promise should step aside.
According to the president, it is not time to play politics as residents of Nairobi are longing for improved service delivery.
The Head of State urged Nairobi residents to support the
Nairobi Metropolitan Service and its Director General Mohamed Badi as the state
agency accelerates service delivery in the city.

“We are here to deliver services to our people and we must
do that, na ule ambaye hataki hiyo akae kando kwa sababu sisi tutatembea kivi
yetu, na hatutarudi nyuma. That is a fact. I will deliver on my pledge, I will
deliver on my promise, kazi ni mingi, siasa kwa sasa haina nafasi, huduma kwa
wananchi ndio tunategemea na ndio tunafuatilia,” he said.
Sonko’s Reaction
Reacting to the President’s remarks, Sonko accused the Head
of State of intimidating him.
He noted that President Kenyatta who he once loved in no
longer lovable.
“My Brother, our beloved President tunakupenda sana lakini
haupendeki tena. Sir, with all due respect this kind of intimidation is not
healthy at all. There's life after politics and there's life after death as
well. God bless you and your entire family. God bless Kenya,” he tweeted.
