On December 27, 2019, a scathing critique of Governor Mike Sonko's leadership was published, highlighting his alleged academic dishonesty and financial impropriety.
According to the article, Sonko never attended a learning institution and instead obtained a fake degree from St. Paul's University through backdoor means. The admission number he claims to be his belongs to the genuine owner, Elphanus Mbuvi.
Furthermore, the article alleges that Sonko is a hardcore criminal who escaped from a prison in Shimo La Tewa. His incompetence and alleged academic dishonesty led to the resignation of his deputy, Polycap Igathe.
Additionally, the article claims that Sonko has looted county funds to an extreme extent, leaving the county broke. He has also been accused of giving handouts to his proclaimed bloggers to attack and feud with anyone who questions his leadership integrity.
Other allegations against Sonko include his alleged affair with a University of Nairobi student leader, Ann Mvurya, and his rumored positive HIV status, which was exposed by the Star newspaper.
Moreover, the article questions Sonko's source of wealth, suggesting that his matatu business cannot generate the amount of money he is accused of accumulating. It is alleged that he is using county funds to finance his lavish lifestyle.
