Billionaire Businessman Chris Kirubi on Sunday dismissed Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko's job offer as County Chief Economic Advisor.
The businessman noted that he had not been in any discussions with Sonko and did not know of any plans to make him Chief Economic Advisor as he had never met nor spoken to the Senator.
"How do you offer a job to someone you have never met or spoken to? I don't know this man neither do I have his number," Kirubi stated.
The tycoon further stated that he was not interested in the offer as he was busy with other important businesses.
"I am not interested in politics, I work for International organizations and I have no time for Sonko’s job offer," the tycoon explained.
On Saturday, Sonko posted on his Facebook page a statement stating that he would bring on board technocrats to work with him and noted that there were plans to have Kirubi on his team as Chief County Economic Advisor.
"I am and have always been a team player who will delegate, assign, and appoint professionals to run the affairs of the county, to that effect, plans are underway to make investor Chris Kirubi as our county's Chief Economic Advisor," Sonko's statement read in part.
The Senator also asked his supporters to recommend his running mate, either businessman Jimnah Mbaru or former Nairobi town clerk John Gakuo for the upcoming elections.
Sonko is seeking to be the next Nairobi County Governor and will face off with Peter Kenneth and Margaret Wanjiru in the Jubilee Party nominations next week
