Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is a man under scrutiny just days after the humiliated Nairobi Women Rep Esther Passaris publicly forcing her to walk away from the Madaraka Day celebrations.
Passaris had made sensational claims that Sonko had been avoiding her calls and neglected her in the running of the City.
Now, the Governor is facing new accusations. Questions have emerged over the contradictions surrounding his imprisonment and subsequent release from Shimo La Tewa prison.
In his previous public confessions, Sonko has often maintained that he escaped from prison where he was serving 12 months after being convicted of fraud.
But according to a story written by the Star, there is a judgment issued by former High Court Judge Samuel Oguk in application No 80 of 2001, the late judge reduced Sonko’s sentence by three months having served already 9 months on grounds that he was HIV positive.
So as to understand Sonko you might need to look at his past criminal record. Sonko faked his HIV status so as to get out of jail. He didn't escape as he keeps on telling people. Justice Oguk who issued the revision order for him to get out of jail, was sacked by the judiciary. pic.twitter.com/R311dTC6fr

Sharing into his Facebook account on Friday, the County Boss recalled the day he was imprisoned and how he went through mental torture.
He wrote;
“One day your many sleepless nights shall come to pass. There was a time i was in the same situation surrounded by walls and milango ya gereza thinking of how my wife and kids would cope with life in my absence, they used to cry alot when they came to visit me and talk to me from a glass window covered with wire mesh under tight prison security. I believed in God in whatever hard circumstances i was undergoing.”
He went on to encourage his fans going through hardships urging them to depend on God.
“One day I overcame all the difficult hurdles against me in life and became whom Iam today. So my Brother my sister, fellow Nairobians, fellow Kenyans do not give up in life no matter the difficult situation you are in, one day God will make away for you.”
