Nairobi Deputy Governor Polycarp has resigned.
The former Vivo Energy CEO bowed out after his boss embarrassed him by sharing to the public their private WhatsApp conversation. In his resignation letter,Igathe stated that Sonko has failed to trust him. His full resignation letter reads:
“Dear Nairobians, it is with a heavy heart that I resign my seat as elected Deputy Governor of Nairobi City County effective 1pm on 31st Jan 2018. I regret I have failed to earn the trust of the Governor to enable me to drive Admin & Management of the county.
Without fear, favour or ill will I step down to avoid abusing or betraying my oath of office to Kenyans, Nairobians & my family.
Thank you for the encouraging support given to me so far”,
News of Igathe’s resignation spread like bush fire with majority of Kenyans agreeing that Igathe and Sonko are individuals with varying personalities.
News reaching us states that Sonko has refused to acknowledge Igathe’s resignation.However,we are informed that the Governor has resolved to consult the President before he responds to his deputy.
