Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has found himself in the spotlight once again, this time for his comments on Governor Alfred Mutua's failed marriage. The incident occurred just a week ago when Sonko advised Mutua to keep his family problems private.
However, it's clear that Sonko's message was laced with sarcasm, and many have interpreted it as a mockery of Mutua's situation. The thin line between clowns and politicians in Kenya is often blurred, and this incident is a perfect example.
Over the weekend, Mutua and his wife Lilian Ng'ang'a attempted to put on a united front by sharing photos together. However, their efforts were met with skepticism, and Sonko was quick to capitalize on the situation.
Sharing a photo of Lilian, Sonko wrote, 'Birthday iko karibu kwisha. Kila mtu ataenda kivyake Ama what will be next yoooh?' The post was accompanied by a photo of the couple, which seemed to confirm that Lilian was uninterested in the relationship.
It's clear that Sonko isn't a fan of Mutua, but he's willing to keep up the charade of being a socialite. The drama surrounding Mutua's marriage has kept many entertained, and it's unlikely to die down anytime soon.
