Nikama Wazungu walibambika sana na Kiingereza ya Sonko! Do you remember when the governor twanged during his speech at the blue economy conference last year?

The President Kenyarra and Nairobi cirry? Well it seems Sonko was marketing himself. Otherwise, what can explain UN’s decision to select the Nairobi governor as the head of delegation of African Cities to a UN General Assembly Conference?

In fact Sonko will be the only African leader who will address the conference which starts in New York next week. The conference has been organised by the Office of the 73rd President of the General Assembly and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN.

The conference that will focus on the roles of cities in the global agenda, will be held on February 19, 2019, at the UN Headquarters in New York.

The theme of the conference will be; “From Global Issues to Local Priorities: The role of Cities in Global Agenda, including Cities for Sustainable Development, Food Security, Nutrition and Climate Change.”
