On August 9, 2019, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko received an honorary doctorate degree from The European Digital University at the University of Dubai.
The recognition was given for Sonko's role in transforming lives in society through his Sonko Rescue team, which offers free social services to Nairobi residents and sometimes extends its services to other parts of the country.
Overjoyed by the news, Sonko shared it on his official Facebook page, expressing his gratitude for the honor.
Despite facing criticism from other leaders, including MP Passaris, and wealthy individuals, Sonko remains committed to improving the lives of Nairobi residents.
He has pledged to continue his charitable work, which has earned him this prestigious recognition.
