Waititu puts a cosy show with Sonko despite row over wife’s arrest – PHOTOS


There was no love lost on Wednesday morning when governors Mike Sonko ( Nairobi) and Ferdinand Waititu (Kiambu) met during the memorial for Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.

The two chatted away heartily for a while when they met at the Mzee Jomo Kenyatta’s mausoleum.

The event that marked 40 years since Mzee died, was led by President Uhuru Kenyatta, who coincidentally is the son of the first president.

Sonko and Waititu were involved in a tiff last week after the wife of Kiambu governor was arrested over illegal construction of their hotel in Nairobi.

Sonko recorded a phone call where Waititu was begging him to have his wife Susan Wangare and their 14 workers released unconditionally.

The Nairobi governor instead offered to “break the law” and have only Waititu’s wife released on cash bail.

She was eventually charged in court and released on a cash bail of Sh100,000.
