Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko always gets his social media followers off guard by firing shots to those who make negative comments about his efforts.
A day after nominated Jubilee MP Maina Kamanda critized Governor Sonko’s actions in Turkana where he went to distribute relief food to famine victims.
Sonko defended his actions explaining that he was the good deeds ambassador.
Kamanda, in a post on Tuesday, faulted the governor for traveling to Turkana for PR purposes while the county operations were not right.
“Dear governor, after going to Turkana with your complete photograph team, please wake up and serve Nairobians. Streets are still dirty, hawkers being harassed, drainage pathetic and workers being fired left right like garbage,” he posted on his social media.
In a rejoinder, Sonko stated that his presence in Turkana was justified as the good deeds ambassador refuting allegations that the exercise was to gain political mileage.
Referring to Kamanda as an old man, the county head further stated, “It’s not my first time to stand with the needy and I will not stop it because of your dirty mouth and menopause politics which has been overtaken by events.
“Inaonekana wewe Mzee unazeekavibaya (It looks like you are aging) respect others, respect your age the same way we respect you.”
His post elicited mixed reactions online, with many citing that the menopause comment was uncalled for.
“I wanted to clap for you for such a sober response, only to come across menopause politics at the end,” one user noted.
Some sought to clarify that men did not undergo menopause, instead referring to erectile dysfunction.
“So why use the word menopause to insult someone you would have used erectile dysfunction instead,” another stated.
