Governor Mike Sonko Explains Why He Has Not Worked For 60 Days

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on Thursday explained why he has not worked for 60 days since he was sworn into office.

Sonko, who had promised a number of pledges within his first 100 days, stated that he had spent most of those days campaigning for President Uhuru Kenyatta.

It's more than 100 days since he took over office and Governor Sonko is yet to fulfill most of the assurances he made.

“I have only worked for 40 days since we were campaigning for the President and the political temperatures were high for the other 60 days. Let the people know that my scorecard is based on those few days,” highlighted the former Senator.

He further accused some of the county employees of failing to undertake their duties as required.

He mentioned: “I was lenient with the workers thinking that they will do their job but instead they have been sabotaging my efforts.”

The Governor has, however, mentioned that he has already automated 58 out of the 136 county revenue streams through Web Tribe Limited, a company the county contracted to automate 100 such revenue streams.

During his swearing-in, his focus was on digitizing of operations, revoking all illegal and irregular contracts signed by former Governor Evans Kidero’s regime, as well as having senior staff in his administration subjected to a code of accountability.

He later added that his administration will see to it that all the pledges have been implemented progressively.

“I have never made a promise I cannot keep. I want to give you an assurance that Nairobi will never be the same again. I shall work round the clock to deliver,” the Governor earlier stated.
