Stone-cold reality as Sonko goes down the ‘wrap-it’ hole

Mike Sonko

What you need to know:

  • As Mr Sonko prepares to play his cards before the Senate, the moments he showed up in public with messages written on his head will play in some people’s minds.
  • He has a reputation of being a joker, doing things no other governor has imagined doing, for example the day he went live online while chewing miraa and reading fans’ comments

In the digital game of Solitaire, if the computer tells you there are no more moves you can make with your cards, you have lost.

That game mirrors Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s current predicament. He seemingly has “no more moves” to make, given the direction the Senate has decided to take on hearing his impeachment by the Nairobi County Assembly.
