He is among the richest politicians in Kenya,whose wealth has surprised many.He gives hand outs to whoever needs his help without showing signss of being broke.His wealth has always raised questions,with many people believing he engages in drug business.
Before Sonko joined politics ,no one knew that the youthful politician used to exist. He first came to the limelight when his bank account was frozen with Sh 80 million by the central bank. The money was reportedly sent from abroad for Sonko’s campaigns. The incident made the Senator cry uncontrollably as he begged the government to release the money.
