The Nairobi Governor's decision to install a lion statue at the University Way-Uhuru Highway roundabout sparked significant public backlash, with residents expressing disapproval on social media.
Residents voiced frustration over the addition to the city's beautification project, with Kenyans on Twitter criticizing the choice as poorly conceived. The controversy escalated as the governor addressed the issue through a lighthearted video featuring a talking lion offering morning greetings.
In the video, Sonko quipped, "Jokes aside. Good Morning Kenyans, especially the great people of the only city that has a National Park, the 3rd best tourist destination in the world." The post included a social media link to the video, which showcased the governor's unconventional approach to addressing public criticism.
