Keneth: Sonko will be a disaster for Nairobi.

Nairobi gubernatorial seat contestant Peter Kenneth has warned that an election of Senator Mike Sonko, his competitor for the Jubilee party ticket, will be a disaster for the capital's residents.

"Sonko will be a disaster for Nairobians and am praying for a free, fair and credible nominations exercise tomorrow since the party has improved on logistical issues that had affected primaries," said Kenneth.

Mr Kenneth in an interview on national television said the battle for the city top seat will not be a popularity show down but instead an opportunity for the people to weigh in who stands a chance to suitably serve the city needs.

He termed the incumbent's tenure as pathetic saying governor Kidero had performed poorly and could rate him at 2 marks on a scale of a maximum of ten.

He pointed out a case of what he referred to as ignoring Gikomba Market leaving traders under deplorable conditions as they conduct business at a sewerage surrounded center.

He termed the rampant traffic congestion as solvable accusing Dr Kidero of avoiding doing what should have been done to solve the matter that has been of great concern to city residents.

Kenneth , during the interview dismissed accusations against his performance records at key parastatals saying his competitor Miguna Miguna had been labeling him as having failed in his previous positions but could not substantiate the claims.

He urged the residents to watch out on their choices as he believes the likes of Miguna Miguna would run away from the city after the general elections.

"For Miguna, it will not be a come baibe come, he will resolve to running away from the city,” he laughed off on TV.

He moved to pledge ensuring that sections of the county especially slum areas receive free clean drinking water when elected, a move he said would help tackle health issues in the areas.

Kenneth will today face Senator Sonko in the Jubilee party nominations that will determine who will face the siting governor Dr Evans Kidero who has a direct ticket on ODM alongside Miguna Miguna, running as an independent candidate.
