Nairobi County governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko is known for chunky gold jewelry and impromptu bursts of rapping. But on Friday, Kenyan police arrested the flamboyant governor on corruption charges
NAIROBI - Kenyan police arrested the Nairobi County governor, known for his chunky gold jewelery and impromptu raps, on Friday on corruption charges, a high profile move in the government’s much trumpeted anti-graft push.
Citizens and international investors have long complained of corruption in Kenya, East Africa’s business hub. Police used teargas to disperse hundreds of Sonko’s supporters when he was called into the anti-corruption office for questioning in November. He was recently photographed using a goldplated iPad and matching iPhone and has appeared in rap videos gyrating in public offices wearing gold-colored trainers while insulting political opponents.
