Nairobi governor Mike Sonko caused a stir after he interrupted Deputy President William Ruto’s speech in front of President Uhuru during the launch of the national tree planting exercise.
Sonko had apparently been skipped in the protocol thwarted attempts to undermine him, stamping his authority and addreesing those who attended the event at Moi forces Accademy in Nairobi.
The county boss accused the Cabinet Secretary of disrespecting the Nairobi county leadership following the protocol hitch.
Sonko protested loudly after Tobiko skipped him in the speeches and instead invited Deputy President William Ruto to speak at the event.
The president, DP Ruto and the leaders had gathered at Moi Forces Academy, Nairobi to mark the national tree planting day.
“The State House Program is very clear. After the National Anthem, the governor of Nairobi is supposed to speak. I was supposed to invite Environment CS Keriako Tobiko who would then invite the DP.” Sonko said amidst cheers from his supporters.
“Hii mambo ya kuniaundermine tafadhalini tuacheni. Sote tunaserve serikali moja. Rais hajadisband county government ya Nairobi. Kwa hivyo heshima kidogo. (Please stop undermining me. We all serve in the same government. The president has not disbanded the Nairobi county government),” he added.
