On December 10, 2019, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko made headlines for his dramatic arrest in Voi and subsequent airlift back to Nairobi.
However, it's not the governor's antics that have left many talking, but the price tag of the Versace t-shirt he wore during the ordeal.
The tropical Versace t-shirt, which has been identified as a $531 (Ksh 54,188) item, is a testament to Sonko's love for luxury and opulence.
As reported earlier this year, the governor splurged on a Versace pendant and chain worth Sh4.3 million in Dubai, UAE, further cementing his reputation as a fashion connoisseur.
While some may find it hard to justify the cost of such a t-shirt, for others, a trip to the local mtumba market may be a more affordable and practical option.
