The Senate is unnecessary. It's role will be just increasing the govt payroll without adding any value. It's role is smaller than that of the National Assembly.

Members of the national assembly will however be elected by a smaller constituency thus fewer costs for campaigning!

I thought Hon Sonko is very keen on this thing?

Sonko

Could it be then that politicians are avoiding Senate positions because they will have no say over devolved funds?

>70% of Nbi population ni youth. Na Sonko commands a huge following among them. Like it or not, if they vote Sonko notwithstanding his theatrics would well easily be on his way to be the governor of the richest county in Kenya!

The biggest reason is the expectations of the voter. The Kenyan voter expects to see projects from both the senator and the governor. While the governor will use state funds to show why he should be re-elected, the senator will have to do his projects from his pocket. The voter will always ask what u did for them. They have never and probably will never understand that the role of an MP is not attending harambees and doing dvpt projects but representation!

Eti correction, wacha kuvuta vangi kijana, we are looking at the total amount at the disposal of Nairobi governor!!!!

And 30% from central region. I wonder how much my county contributes to the overall GDP.

If elections were to be held in Makadara today Sonko would probably win with a landslide. This guy is worshiped in his constituency and i believe its for the right reasons. Did you see what he did yesterday in his constituency, using one of his matatus he ferried sick people to hospital for medical care and paid their hospital bills. One of the beneficiaries, an elderly lady, was full of gratitude and had tears of joy.

"A few weeks back he was called by residents of Kaloleni Estate who had gone without power for two weeks after their transformer short-circuited had attempted to reach some of the their elected and aspiring leaders in vain. One of the residents picked up the phone and flashed the flamboyant MP who called back and promised to address the problem. Sonko showed up one hour later as agreed with the residents, took them to Stima Plaza where their problem was resolved immediately!"

You might be a loose nut at times but keep up the good work Sonko!

I saw Sonko too n what he did to those sick people was touching.
Sonko will still be the MP after next election coz he bonds with his constituents.
