Mike Mbuvi Sonko, the former Nairobi senator, has resigned amidst investigations into his alleged involvement in a suspicious procurement process at the Kenya Pipeline Corporation.
According to reports, Sonko was to allegedly receive $15 million from the deal. His decision to step aside has been followed by unusual circumstances, including having a photographer capture his departure from office.
A statement from an observer notes that Sonko's actions may be an attempt to prove a point or demonstrate his ability to return to a simpler life. However, others speculate that he may be planning a comeback, with one commentator saying,
He us up to something and he will bounce back bigger and stronger.
