Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has send a strong message to people working at President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Harambee House office, whom he feels are intimidating him.
His message comes days after the embattled County chief faced humiliation from unnamed people who are close to President Kenyatta.
The Nairobi County boss last week had his security details withdrawn both from his Mua Hills home and his private office in Upper Hill, as well as having his Covid-19 sanitisation booths that had been installed in Nairobi CBD and Kibra vandalised.
Sonko in his Tuesday night message told his Harambee House friends that Power comes, power goes, power is temporary, and transient but the will of the people, and the will of God, is eternal.
He went ahead to remind them that in the 1990’s, Hon. Nicholas Biwott (RIP) was the most powerful man, probably across Africa, but before his demise, he used to sit lonely at a corner at the Serena Hotel, and very few people even bothered to say hi to him.
He further reminded them of 2006, when President Kenyatta was the official opposition.
Sonko said that in 2006, there was a stand off between Hawkers and the Police, and President Kenyatta stepped in to help quell the crisis, but his efforts did not succeed after senior officers at the OP directed the then Nairobi PPO to instruct his officers on the ground to disperse the hawkers and the then the leader of official opposition Uhuru Kenyatta by tear gassing them.
By then, Sonko says, nobody knew that he would one day become President.
“Sometimes in 2006, there was a stand off between Hawkers and the Police. The current President stepped in to help quell the crisis, but his efforts did not succeed after senior officers at the OP directed the then Nairobi PPO to instruct his officers on the ground to disperse the hawkers and the then the leader of official opposition Uhuru Kenyatta by tear gassing them. Nobody then knew that he would one day become President,” he posted.
This seems to be a clear message that as much as his intimidation continues, he will at some point rise to power in this Country, since the Supreme Will of God has never faltered, neither floundered.
