Mike Sonko clash with MCA Robert Alai: “I will ensure you are buried like a king”

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has been trending since yesterday after he posted a video flaunting stash of cash in US dollars and Kenyan shilling denominations in suitcases at his house.

In the video, he says,“Ati sina pesa sababu hatusaidii watoto. Nani ameakuambia above 18 ni watoto? mtu amezaa. Amesomeshwa akamaliza. Niko na pesa ya kuharibu na bibi zangu… Wacha nikuoneshe pesa. Unajua maana ya pesa wewe?”

This loosely translates to, “You’re saying I don’t have money because I’m not helping children. Who told you someone who’s above 18 is a child? someone who has kids. Someone who has completed school. I have money to waste with my wives… let me show you money. Do you even know the meaning of money?”

He goes on to say more unprintable words in the video. Sonko in the video mentioned that the amount was around Sh30 million.

However, his showoff did not sit well with a section of Kenyans online who felt it was unwise for Sonko to share the video.

Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai criticized him for trying to seek validation from strangers.

He urged Sonko to go back to school for him to seek knowledge.

“The fact that you can operate a camera and display a ward of cash doesn’t make you rich.

You can be having some wads of cash while upstairs, wewe ni maskini wa ki akili. Jamani, tafuteni knowledge and wisdom. Never seek validation from netizens,” Alai tweeted.

Little did Alai knew that he was rattling a ‘snake’.

Sonko replied hurling insults at him while promising to cater for his burial expenses incase he ‘dies’ ahead of him.

“Maisha ni yangu. Wewe nyamaza mknd wewe. Yako ya Mca umesaidia nayo nani?” Sonko stated.

Adding:

“Have you any done any harambee in your ward to help in any needy case or in luo Nyanza.”

“Na bado ujue I can still go out of my way for anyone including yourself since you were once my buddy Godforbid akikuchukua mbele yangu, I will ensure you are buried like a king.

Together with your funeral committee, we shall preserve your body in the morgue for additional 3weeks as I construct a modern house for you in your shags where you will be laid to rest.”

She said anyone in the former governor’s shoes would have reacted the same way Sonko did.

Sandra added people are quick to jump to conclusions without knowing the real issue.

“Guys please stop attacking my father. Everyone gets upset and if it were you in that position you would have flipped even worse y’all don’t see things from his point of view but then so quick to jump to conclusions. He’s human to abeg,” Sandra wrote on Instagram.
