Sonko faces tough choices for violating public expectations

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko.

The arrest, trial and bail-out of the Nairobi Governor dominated public opinion this week. The drama of the week got me thinking, are there honourable choices leaders can make when facing a career catastrophe? 

Arrested, heading in the opposite direction from an arrest warrant, the Governor of Nairobi has now been charged with economic crimes, money laundering, abuse of office and unlawful acquisition of public property. He may also be charged with assaulting the arresting officers, if the public complaint by the Police Service is followed through.
