Sonko’s opulent Mua Hills Home in Machakos serves as a source of inspiration for the establishment’s interior design.
VIP Volume Club is expected to live up to its name, with a range of over 1,947 different types of liquor and golden lion statues.
Aside from the gold theme, the club’s wall is covered in patterns that resemble those of the Versace fashion label, which the politician is known to favor.
The club is situated on an acre of ground and can hold 15,000 people with a parking area that can handle up to 150 vehicles.
“We wanted Mombasa people and visitors to have a feel of what is to come. We have not yet set the official opening date, but it will be big,” said Mike Sonko as he gave a glimpse into his new venture.
Over New Year’s eve, the former governor hosted socialite Vera Sidka and her partner, Tanzanian musician Brown Mauzo, gave a special performance.
Sonko has intimated that the dance floor at the establishment is bulletproof, noting that it’s a one of a kind feature which has incorporated new technology.
He added that the dance arena is not completely stationary and will be able to move in certain ways.
“It has been constructed in such a way that it will be giving off a feeling like you are in a lift. There will be slight movement up and down because it has been made with a new technology that has never been used before,” Sonko pointed out.
