For a number of days, Sonko has been at the coast where he had accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta as toured the region.
Apparently, sonko was so disturbed being at the coast because of one reason.He thought people had taken advantage of him being away to grab a piece of land in Karen.
“Land grabbers in action Karen Warai road. They are taking advantage of my absence from Nairobi,” said Sonko.
At one point Sonko urged the police to shoot down the goons who attacked the land and in case they stand being charged he was going to bail them out.
“In case of any repercussions I will stand surety and give a reward of 500K to any officer who'll shoot & kill any of these shameless goons,” tweeted Sonko
