Sonko Reveals How He Cheated to Get His ID Card

Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has brought to light how he cheated his way into acquiring an Identity Card (ID) before attaining the legal age.

In a Facebook post, Sonko narrated how he tampered with his birth certificate backdating his year of birth while in Secondary school.

The Senator stated that he was the youngest in his class, and had to make the decision in order to be issued with the ID card alongside other students.

“I was the most notorious student in school and the youngest in form 4 class. There was a mobile ID registration campaign where all students who had attained the age of 18 years were supposed to show a copy of birth certificate or notification of birth document. I had to forge mine with a whiteout and backdated it by 3yrs so that I could also be issued with an ID instantly,” he stated.

Sonko exposed his cunning behaviour, stating that he severally got into trouble with his late father even as he thanked him for being tolerant and correcting his reckless mistakes.

The former Makadara lawmaker posted the message after a session to commemorate his father in which he was in accompanied by President Uhuru Kenyatta's son Muhoho.

Last year, the flamboyant legislator caused an online buzz after admitting that he used to smoke bhang during his younger years.
