Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko , offered his predecessor Evans Kidero a collaborative position in his administration.
Speaking at the office of Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho, Sonko also extended the Olive Branch to his competitor in the 2017 election Peter Kenneth.
He urged the two politicians to join hands with him and come up with a united team to help his administration transform Nairobi City County.
“As in have been appealing. I’m ready to work with all leaders in Nairobi County especially those who competed with me for the Governor’s seat. In the spirit of the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, I’m ready to work with my opponents for the good of Nairobi people,” he conveyed.
Sonko added that he was ready to work together with all Nairobi leaders for that purpose.
The county head helped to reconcile Governor Joho and his political rival Suleiman Shahbal in order to bring unity in Mombasa County which is the second biggest City in the country after Nairobi City.
Shahbal contested for the Mombasa Governor’s seat on a Jubilee ticket and lost to Joho who vied on an ODM ticket.
On his part, Joho hailed Sonko for his role in mediating between him and Shahbal adding that he’ll ensure Sonko also unites with all Nairobi leaders.
“I want to thank Governor Sonko for helping me to reconcile with Shahbal, it’s now almost one year after the August 2017 general election. We are now ready to work together and improve the lives of Mombasa residents. But I’ll try my level best to bring on board Kidero and others to work with Sonko,” stated Joho.
Sonko is in Mombasa County to attend a Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company workshop on reforms in the water sector.
