Sonko admits on live TV that he used to smoke bhang

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on Wednesday evening revealed that he used to smoke bhang with a sitting governor during their early days in parliament as legislators.

Appearing on Jeff Koinange’s JKL, Sonko further alleged that the said governor would even hide bhang in his socks and there was a toilet they frequented to ‘puff.’

Despite constant interjections by Jeff, the governor was intent on giving this information but stated he has since stopped the habit.

"I think he used to smoke a lot of bhang when he was an MP. I am a witness to this.

“We used to go to a certain toilet there, we used to smoke a lot of bhang with that guy. In fact, he used to hide bhang in the socks," stated Sonko.

He, however, reiterated that times have changed and it explains why both of them emerged victorious in the 2017 General Election.

During the interview, Sonko also spoke on the 14 Riverside attack and confirmed that he was actually carrying a gun when he visited the scene.

“I was not carrying a power-bank, it was a gun but I did not expose it intentionally. There is nothing wrong with me being armed when going to such a scene,” he said.

Adding that he is a sharp shooter.
