Damning video captures Sonko in ‘voter bribery’ scam at the coast – VIDEO
Nairobi senator Mike Sonko was caught on tape supervising what appears to be dishing out of handouts and branded merchandise ahead of a Jubilee political rally.
The undated video shows the flamboyant senator being guarded by his heavily built bodyguards as other men dish out branded merchandise and cash.
The video is thought to have been taken ahead of a rally presided over by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.
The clip has since gone viral on social media, touching off heated debated among Kenyans.
