A video of Governor Mike Sonko chewing Miraa and interacting with his online followers has caused mixed reactions.
In the 2 minute video on Sunday evening, Sonko is seen reading several tweets from followers.
Some of the followers requested for help to offset hospital bills and others simply requested for a few shillings saying they are too broke.
@Katheki Chela requested Governor Sonko to help him clear a hospital bill for a patient.
In the video, Sonko replied, “ Katheki Chela , send details to 0722886600, I will bail you out tomorrow,”
@Wanya Mac Brian, “please send me something small,”
@Mike Sonko said “I will send. I am broke too but will only afford shs 2,000. Once I am done interacting and mingling with fans, I will send you”.
However, some of Sonko’s friends said Abraham Mutai had tried to discredit him but was shocked with the response.
@DavidMaluki_5 .He is honest unlike others.
@joembokoI like @MikeSonko ,no pretence.
@KiboiMaxim Miraa is legal…don’t make a big deal out of it?
@is_musyoki .Kila mtu na starehe zake. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Ati mtu hasijibambe juu alipigiwa kura ?
@PeteroMaina Sonko is Authentic. He is real. Hana story ya pretence. What you see is what you get. I respect and admire your excellency the Governor of Nairobi. We we ni wetu. Kazi iendelee @MikeSonko. Usitishwe. Kaa gangari.
@Bet_Pesa Sonko is smart. He speaking to his fan base, trying to fit and speak their language. I can bet sonko will be the governor 2022.
@dennisobed70 Perhaps you should look at it as Sonko being the veve ambassador…..he is marketing the product to the world.
@gedionkadu @MikeSonko might actually be the best leader Kenya has currently. Dude is himself. No putting up phony appearances. Better the devil you know.
Several people from other Counties also asked their Governors to consider sending them something small and find time to interact with them the way Sonko was doing to City residents.
