On December 11, 2019, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko made headlines after being arrested in Voi, sparking a heated online discussion.
However, it was not his arrest that caught the attention of netizens, but rather the Italian luxury fashion house Versace t-shirt he was wearing.
The t-shirt, which has since sold out, costs a staggering $531, equivalent to Sh53,976 at the current exchange rate.
According to a global fashion website, Ikrix, the t-shirt is a prime example of Sonko's expensive taste, which has earned him the title of the most flamboyant governor in Kenya.
Just weeks prior to his arrest, Sonko showcased his love for luxury by sharing pictures of his opulent dining room, complete with gold-plated tables and chairs.
