On August 4, 2019, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko launched a mobile phone line for women to report irresponsible fathers in government.
According to Sonko, the line received numerous complaints, including evidence of unprotected sex and intimidation of victims.
He threatened to publish the names of politicians implicated in child neglect, including two presidential favorites and seven governors, in local newspapers.
As part of his initiative, Sonko plans to hire advocates for the affected victims to compel the implicated politicians to take DNA tests.
His move has been met with skepticism, with some viewing it as a political gimmick.
However, Sonko remains committed to exposing the truth and holding those responsible accountable.
