Senate Told How Governor Sonko’s Daughter Splashed Millions On Extravagant New York Trip
Underfire Nairobi governor Mike Sonko allegedly splashed millions of taxpayers’ money to treat his daughter to an outlandish trip to New York.
Speaking during the Senate plenary hearing on Wednesday following Sonko’s impeachment on December 3, Nairobi assembly Minority Leader Michael Ogada detailed how the governor misappropriated about Sh4.6 million to facilitate Saumu Mbuvi’s trip to New York in March, 2018.
“The governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko oversaw and authorised the financing of an illegal, irregular, extravagant, exorbitant and flashy trip to New York, USA, for his daughter Saumu Agnes Mbuvi to the tune of Sh4.6 million,” the Embakasi Ward MCA avered.
