What worries Mike Sonko to have guns around him?

It wasn’t until I read Senator Mike Sonko’s rebuttal of rumours doing the rounds on social media that I recalled the day he paraded his wealth and brazen force on the streets of Nairobi; Custom-made cars, armed bouncers and gold rings. Facebook had been abuzz with speculation that the good Senator had gone bonkers and his direct line to the president, which he uses to impress, had been blocked. Of course, I don’t believe everything I read on social media, but I must admit, some of it is informative.

Sonko is an enigma, the type of fellow you cannot really figure out. He reflects that ‘good guy’ ambience and is very generous. I have had occasion to watch Sonko for a while, starting with when he declared he had more than 200 bank accounts to the time, as an MP, he went to Parliament inappropriately dressed and got his matching orders from an austere Speaker.
