When
Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko called president Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene
and stop the demolition of houses in Lang’ata Road last year, many people were
shocked that the two were that close.
On
Friday, Sonko and Uhuru visited hair dressers and had an executive cut
together. It now turns out President Uhuru approves Senator Mike Sonko’s hair
style. The two had what can now be referred to as a collabo hairdo.
And
whereas Sonko went his typical style, Uhuru maintained his presidential style. What
this means therefore is that even though others have been questioning Sonko’s
hair, Uhuru approves of it.
The truth of the matter is that Uhuru and Sonko and buddies and what is not clear is whether or not Uhuru some of senator Sonko’s philanthropic work. Sonko is known to spend millions of shillings helping the needy through fund raiser to women and youth groups, churches, schools and as well as paying school fees for the needy.
Back
to the hair style, those who have been opposed to Nairobi Senator Mike Mbuvi
Sonko’s hair cut with messages have now come to believe that indeed they were
wrong in one way or the other. Sonko who is President Uhuru Kenyatta’s buddy
pulled the first surprise when he had a hair cut style when accompanying Uhuru
to the Hague which reads “UHURU NOT GUILTY”.
Many
dismissed the hair style and Sonko being the controversial politician he is
believe to be and being an independent-minded leader who believes in God and
himself has never been bothered about those criticizing his hair style but has
always insisted that just like companies and organizations uses T-Shirts to
advertise their products and to pass important information, he also chose to
use his hair cut style to pass information.
Today, Sonko boasts of having a hair
cut that has now come to pass “UHURU NOT GUILTY”. But it is not only Uhuru that
he has supported over the ICC cases. He had also once accompanied Deputy
President William Ruto to The Hague and he had a hair cut which read “UHURUTO
NOT GUILTY”. It is important to note that Sonko does not use his hair cut for
political matters only.
In 2013 after the presidential
election results were announced and Cord went to court to challenege Uhuru’s
victory, as tension continued to build, Sonko pulled a first one and had a baby
mohawk with the word “PEACE” emblazoned in the middle. It not only created a
buzz in the country, but also, according to Sonko, it showed his patriotism and
call for peace in the 2013 election.
During the campaigns for his
senatorial race, he also had a hair style cut with word “PEACE” which he used
to appeal to Kenyans to hold a peaceful election. He therefore campaigned on
the platform of peace.
During the Shujaa Day celebrations,
Sonko had his hair styled with the words “SHUJAA” in the To Sonko, the
inscription was a way to celebrate the heroes that have contributed to Kenya's
development.
Again during the New Year
celebrations, Sonko had his signature “PEACE” mohawk but enhanced the look with
additional message, “GOD BLESS KENYA”, wishing Kenyans a happy New Year.
Love him or hate him, Sonko has
maintained that he is the darling of the Nairobians and by extension Kenyans.
His political clout cuts across the ethnic, tribal and religious boarders. But
one thing that he has kept his supporters guessing is whether it is true he is
laying grounds to contest the Nairobi Gubernatorial elections in 2017.
Now
that he must have a new hair cut based on the new development on ICC and now
that his buddy Uhuru is a free man, Kenyans are waiting to see what message he
will have for them. Will it be “Thank you Bensouda” or “Set Ruto free”, or
“Ruto not guilty” or “terminate Ruto case”? Your guess could be as good as mine
and only time will tell.
