Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko on Wednesday made a satirical comment on his Facebook page in what could be seen as an endorsement of the Brookside milk produced by a firm associated with the Kenyatta family.
This came a few hours after the opposition called on Kenyans to boycott milk from Brookside Dairies, saying the firm would benefit greatly from the deal signed with Uganda at the expense of local sugar farmers who would suffer as a result of “cheap sugar” importation.
In his characteristic humour, Sonko said one does not need to be a cow to know what milk is. He went ahead and inferred a short story from the bible to support his assertion on the importance of milk.
“In the Bible, God offered the Pharaoh freedom if he would just let the oppressed people free to go to the land of milk and honey. But the Pharaoh disobeyed, and he was destroyed,” reads the post.
Sonko claims he loves milk so much and he makes a point of drinking a glass of milk every day.
