Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s palatial home in Mua Hills Machakos is a world away from the house where he spent part of his childhood in Majengo, Mombasa.

In Majengo, there are no long drive ways lined with cabro blocks. Instead, there are short potholed paths. Sometimes, they are muddy and during dry whether, they are dusty.
