Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has demonstrated his commitment to helping those in need, particularly women. A recent instance of his generosity involved visiting a woman at Fatima Maternity hospital who had been detained for nearly a month due to her inability to pay a medical bill totaling KSh 155,000.
Sonko's actions were motivated by the woman's plight, who had been abandoned by her husband while she was four months pregnant. As a father himself, with a pregnant daughter, Sonko understood the woman's situation and chose to intervene by paying her medical bills.
In a social media post, Sonko emphasized the importance of prioritizing health and being humane towards patients. He stated,
There's nothing more important than our good health – that's our principal capital asset. I believe that if you’re healthy, you’re capable of doing everything.
Sonko's visit to the hospital and decision to clear the woman's medical bills reflect his ongoing efforts to support vulnerable individuals, especially women facing difficult circumstances.
