Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has gone into hiding after the government reduced his bodyguards from 26 to 5.
A close family member revealed that no one knows where the governor sleeps ever since his security was reduced. Since Friday last week he has appeared only twice in public and his Facebook page has been dormant. It’s believed he doesn’t even sleep in Nairobi.
Sonko fears that the few number of bodyguards he is assigned might not help him if cartels decide to rain on him. He is also reportedly planning to quit if the rift between him and the president continue to widen.
Yesterday, Internal Security CS Fred Matiangi said the five bodyguards Sonko has been assigned and wondered why someone of Sonko’s caliber would want a whole police station to guard him.
Close friends claim Sonko is extremely uncomfortable with the ongoing at the county and National level.They add that he is not the jovial man they used to know and he rarely have time for them.All this is brought by the pressure being mounted on him by the National Government and Nairobi residents.
