Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is yet to announce the name of the new Nairobi Deputy Governor.Addressing reporters from Mombasa, Sonko noted that he indeed was ready to appoint the next DG but has received a letter from NASA recommending their candidate.

I will nominate a suitable deputy governor after consultations, Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has said.

Speaking during the presser on Friday, Sonko said the Nasa coalition had asked him to nominate Rahab Wangui.

“I was ready with the name, but I have received a request from NASA that in the spirit of the handshake that I should consider Wangui for the position,” he said.

“This is therefore to inform you that I shall not be forwarding the governor nominee that I had chosen. I will nominate a suitable governor after consultations.”

Wangui was the Wiper candidate for Woman Representative. Sonko said he respects the handshake and has to wait until he consults.

The nomination will be done in a maximum of three weeks, he said.
