Published on April 23, 2020, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko's simmering differences with Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho have boiled to a feverish point.
Sonko took to social media to express his outrage, bashing Kibicho and telling him to 'go burn in hell' for allegedly frustrating his efforts to help Nairobi residents during the coronavirus pandemic.
The governor also called on God to punish senior government officers who gave instructions for the new sanitisation booths erected by Sonko Rescue Team (SRT) to be vandalised by police.
He also targeted those responsible for the suspension of SRT's daily fumigation of city estates and slums, including the distribution of food, face masks, and sanitizers.
According to Sonko, Kibicho and Nairobi Regional Commissioner Wilson Njega are behind his woes.
"May the Lord punish all the senior Gvt officers at the OP who gave instructions for the Kibra, Kencom and Buruburu sanitization booths erected by SRT to be vandalised by the police. May those who have suspended our daily fumigation of Nairobi estates and slums, distribution of food, free masks and sanitizers rot in hell and burn in hell-fire…" Sonko's Facebook post reads.
