Philip Sogoti Chepsat has hit the headlines when he applied for the post of the Deputy Governor, Nairobi County which has been vacant since the resignation of Polycarp Igathe on January 1, 2018.
Through an advertisement posted on Daily Nation, Chepsat has asked Nairobi governor Mike Sonko to give him the position so that he can assist him to deliver on the promises he made to the people of Nairobi when he was seeking election into office.
A Nairobi voter and resident, Philip Sogoti Chepsat, applies to be Governor Mike Sonko's deputy through an ad on the Daily Nation.

He has further said that he had applied for the post before but he was not sure whether Sonko had received the same.
“Hon Sonko, I have reached out to you openly because I am not sure if my earlier communication did reach you,” reads part of the advert.
While tendering his resignation letter, Igathe cited irreconcilable differences between him and the county boss when he penned his letter of resignation.
Kenyans on Twitter have however started reacting to Chepsat’s advert asking Governor Sonko to consider him.
Some are saying that Chepsat might be a God sent Deputy Governor for Nairobians.
@MikeSonko consider him. This might be God's sent Deputy Governor
