Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko offered Miguna Miguna a position in his cabinet if he were to be elected governor.

Miguna, however, swiftly dismissed the offer, responding with a series of critical comments.

Both Sonko and Miguna are candidates for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat.

The two had previously clashed on KTN 's talk show JKL Live, where Miguna referred to Sonko as illiterate.

Sonko extended an olive branch, stating:

Despite Miguna constantly abusing and defaming me. I will appoint him in govt should I win in 2017.

Miguna rejected the offer, saying:

My Brother @MikeSonko, I cannot serve under or with a member of the cartel, thief or drug lord. Do you UNDERSTAND?

Miguna further launched personal attacks on Sonko's character, questioning his past actions.

Sonko responded calmly, stating he did not harbor any grudge towards Miguna:

I cannot hate a man who hates me because if I do, what will be the difference between us?

Miguna gained prominence in 2012 after authoring the book ' Peeling Back the Mask ', which exposed corruption and inefficiencies in the former Prime Minister's office.

The recovered account cited reporting by Nairobi News.
