Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko may not reconcile with his deputy Polycarp Igathe after all.

Speaking for the first time on Monday since Mr Igathe tendered his resignation last Friday, Sonko remained non-committal on the matter but said he was capable of driving the county’s agenda without his estranged deputy.
