Just a few weeks after stepping aside from his Senate duties to allow
room for investigations into alleged corruption against him as directed by
President Uhuru Kenyatta, Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko could be running out
of cash and very soon, you may be called to a harambee to bail him out.
This is after information emerged that
he was allegedly evicted from his Runda home two weeks ago for nonpayment of
sh15.8 million rent arrears.
According to sources, the flamboyant
Senator, who is known for his philanthropy and flashy lifestyle, could not raise
his rent anymore for some months and when his landlord came knocking, he agreed
to pack and leave.

The allegation was corroborated by his
aide who confirmed that the Nairobi Senator could be running bankrupt because he
gives out too much to charity that he even forgets about himself and family.
“The problem with Sonko is that he
spends so much money on others, leaving nothing for himself. He would have
afforded to have bought his own house if he wasn’t spending money helping
people. He is having a problem sustaining all the projects he is doing for
Nairobi residents,” the aide said.
“He pays medical bills, school fees, and then there is the Sonko
Rescue Team that consumes almost Sh4 million every month. His income is from
his clubs, matatus, and land transactions,” he added.
However, when reached for comment,
Sonko refuted claims saying the house belongs to him and is not a tenant
anymore after buying the house last week using the parliamentary mortgage
scheme. He accused his political nemesis of inventing the rumour and propaganda
to fight him politically because of his good work for Nairobians.
“It is normal to start from somewhere.
It is the way of life. You can’t be born with a house in Runda. I rented it,
and then bought it through the parliamentary mortgage scheme. Right now, it is
fully paid for and it is in my name. I paid the last installment for the house
through a cheque a few days ago, through Diamond Trust Bank. I wrote a cheque
for Sh10 million and it is allowed because my branch is in Capital Centre, and
the seller’s branch is in town near Trattoria,” said Sonko.
“Let anybody with evidence who
claims I rented it come forward and show it to the public. There are people
attacking me with such lies to taint my image. I know I am being fought because
some people are afraid of the work I am doing for Nairobi County residents,” he
added.
