On August 14, 2019, a Nairobi resident, Philip Chogoti Chepsat, publicly expressed his interest in becoming Governor Mike Sonko's deputy through a newspaper advert.
According to the advert, Mr. Chepsat, a university graduate with over 15 years of experience in public service, believes he can make significant contributions to Governor Sonko's efforts to improve Nairobi city.
Mr. Chepsat's expression of interest comes after the Deputy Governor position has been vacant since January 2018, when Polycarp Igathe resigned citing a strained work relationship with Governor Sonko.
Governor Sonko has previously stated that he is looking for a competent and strong candidate, adding that he will not tolerate laziness and corruption in the position.
