I am watching how all new Governors are scrambling to copy Soko's example of reducing the cost of swearing in ceremonies. Even D Maina has got in on the act.

Does this mean we are likely to see the end of home comings, gas guzzlers, bench marking trips abroad, chase cars and other examples of conspicuous consumption?

Maybe,just maybe.

I suspect this is advice from Igathe and the Corporate world.Doing things within means.

Too early to tell. Let him start working and realize his budget has things like fumigation etc....

I was not for Sonko but i am beginning to come around. It is actually not a bad idea to have a populist governor. Even if he governs by the whims of the majority those whims will always be inclined to good things. I am sure the majority will always want a clean city, sufficient provision of clean water etc. For you to remain popular you must do something good and that is good. He is also hardcore enough to deal with the Kidero Cartels and I am sure he has the goodwill to be able to do that.

How are the Nairobi County MCAs aligned, are they NASA majority or Jubilee and friendly majority, will they support sonko or sabotage him like the Makueni baggers (good thing almost all got kicked out).
But really impressed by the little things that matter and kanjo job eg garbage collection, not heard or seen igathe but hope he is checking kidero and the county accounts, also hope they fire some department heads or ask all employees to apply for their positions afresh.

Good job Sonko. I didnt vote for him but he has won my heart. I passed by Kangemi this morning and was disgusted by the piles of garbage that had disappeared during Gakuo's time and appeared during Kidero's "error"
Lord, thank you!

It's the Sonko rescue team doing the clean up. I believe once he officially takes over the county on Monday he will engage them on a formal basis

Jubilee - 45 MCAs
NASA - 40MCAs.

Sonko has no excuses
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
