Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has proved to be a man who stands with his promise, not only to do good but also bad.
On Saturday, Governor Sonko engaged in an ugly confrontation with a city tycoon in Buruburu phase 4.
The tycoon named as Nderitu is alleged to be the one behind the demolition of Kinda start academy which was also hosting City Church.
The drama brought about a fight between Sonko’s supporters and Nderitu’s supporters who were demolishing the school, leading to injuries.
During the confrontation, Sonko is said to have warned the tycoon affirming to him that the county will see to it that his car wash is brought down following his alleged involvement in the destruction of a school.
