Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko's tribute to Kenya's second liberation icon and veteran politician the late Kenneth Matiba has rubbed Kenyans the wrong way.
Sonko sent photo's of his tribute message as signed in the condolence book at Matiba's home in Riara Ridge, Kiambu County.
Kenyans were, however, displeased when they noted that Sonko had filled up an entire page of the book with his message.

A majority of those who reacted viewed the move as a wastage and termed Sonko's action as inappropriate.
Sonko is trying to prove that disability is not inability by signing the entire page

Why not have humility and write your condolence in an honourable manner? This is disrespectful, lacks class and is an indication of an inadequacy of some sort. I doubt @WilliamsRuto wrote his that way

Whats the publicity stunt with signing a condolence book.
Mama is this the signal of what our primary teacher's meant by filling at least a page when writing compositions.— Kylie's Daddy (@JohnKwachJeje) April 21, 2018
Boss a full page? Was that necessary? Smh

Others, however, concentrated on other issues including congratulating the county boss on his development agenda.
