Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has responded swiftly after being sued by a woman over child upkeep.
In court papers seen by Nairobileo.co.ke, the woman alleged that the ex-county boss was not taking care of her 15-year-old daughter, whom she claimed to have been fathered by Sonko in 2007.
In a rejoinder, Sonko said he was ready to take care of the kid and advised the woman to take the child to his premises.
The former Governor alleged the woman had been using kids to extort and blackmail men.
"Trouble gani sasa? Just like Jesus said “let children come to me...” Am kindly asking the lady alleging that she has my 15 years old kid to bring the kid to me just the same way her two other kids Jabali and Riley were recently taken from her by her ex boyfriend Austin who now stays with them at Langata coz huyu dame hutumiya watoi kublackmail ndio apewe doo ya kudunda 24/7. I’ll give the kid the best of what life has to offer. My family keeps on growing bigger day in day out, I feel happy and blessed adopting orphans,street families and neglected kids in my home," Sonko said.
