Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has denied abandoning struggling boxing star Conjestina Achieng' saying he tried his best to help rehabilitate her.
Sonko shared call chats with Conjestina's family on his social media profiles, revealing how she quit his team due to a misunderstanding.
According to Sonko, his efforts to assist in the rehabilitation of the former boxing champion were hampered by Conjestina's own family.

Radull further stated that, despite overwhelming help and support from many sources, successfully rehabilitating Conjestina had proven tough.
