It comes as no surprise that popular Nairobi senator’s daughter Saumu Mbuvi came to her father’s defense after social media roasted him for his failure to properly articulate himself. A short video clip of the debate has been making rounds and Kenyans reactions to Mike Sonko’s response to questions has left many in stitches.

Choosing to look at it from a more different view point, Saumu pointed out what her father has done and how closer he is to the mwananchi which should be of more importance than men in suits with imported English.

’To My fellow Youths, Let’s not be blinded by men in suits with imported English. We are the future and we need a leader who stands with us by all times. We need a leader who fights for us, understands us and more so walks with us. Mike Sonko has been the only leader providing employment for the youths wengine walikua wapi ??...Sonko has been for us and forever with us.’’ She posted.

The gubernatorial debate that took place on Monday moderated by KTN’s Joe Ageyo was not short of drama and name calling as the politicians went all out to prove they were best fit for the Nairobi top seat.
