The Monster inside Sonko exposed

Mike Mbuvi Sonko ,Nairobi Governor has been exposed how he dictates everything in the running of the city. As much as he looks hyper  and composed during numerous public appearances that is just but a mask.

Former county Education executive Janet Ouko painted the picture.She resigned on Tuesday after working in Sonko’s cabinet for a year and two months.

Ouko is a former national coordinator of Elimu Yetu Coalition, a civil society organisation championing the right to education.

As part of the induction, all the 10 CECs were taken through certain systems and policies.

However, a few months down the line, it started to emerge that those systems were non-existent.

“You come from a professional background, where there are systems, policies procedures and generally accepted ways of working,” Ouko said.

“At City Hall there doesn’t exist any respect for systems or policies.”

The implementation of city projects is guided by the County Integrated Development Plan and annual work plans approved by the assembly.

But none of that is important. Sonko is the sole authority on everything, says the former executive.

“When you are doing day-to-day operations, it is not really expected that you would again go back to the governor to reconfirm that this is what you are supposed to do. Apparently, that is what is happening. You are supposed to cross-check everything,” Ouko said.

That would be a small problem if Sonko were always available. But he isn’t. One has to keep looking for him, calling him or sending messages on WhatsApp.

Work stops if he has not approved it. And this is his favourite reason for firing staff.

She said Sonko does not recognise office hours and a worker’s private life.

“He will call you at 2am. If you don’t pick the call… the following morning he doesn’t pick your call because you did not pick his,” Ouko said.

That is real monster hidden behind Mike Sonko. Although he has not officially responded to this allegations, we expect it to get even more dirtier.
