Nairobi
Senator Mike Mbuvi Sonko has denied that he is running a parallel county
government and that he is initiating programmes and projects to undermine the Nairobi
county Government.
There
have been questions as to who funds the Sonko rescue team projects across the
county and for the first time, Sonko has come out to give details how the Sonko
Rescue team programme is funded and managed.
In
the project, Sonko wants to supply clean water, collect garbage, put out fires
and ferry the dead to any part of Kenya. He has donated seven buses to the
team, limousines for weddings, hearses and ambulances.
Sonko
says he has employed more than 2,000 youth in the project. Sonko said the
public transport buses generate about Sh7 million per month which he says is
adequate to sustain the project.
“Before
I became a politician I was a transporter. I have now donated all my seven
buses to Sonko Rescue Team. Proceeds from my double-decker bus are also channeled
to this project,” he said. The senator said he is seeking partnerships with
friends and well-wishers.
