Hon. Mike Mbuvi Sonko, the former Nairobi County Governor, has claimed that he was with Jackie Maribe on the day that businesswoman Monica Kimani was murdered. Responding to Maribe's recent revelations, Sonko stated that he would never betray his friends in their time of need.


He further stated that he is ready to testify in court if required to do so. The former governor revealed that he took his friends, including Maribe, for drinks after his interview, and they partied until 4 am.



"On this matter, if I'm summoned by the court, I'll tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Na kwa mukhtasari tu (in summary) I'm not the type of friend who disowns his friends at times of trouble. It's true that l was with Jacque Maribe at Citizen TV when I was being interviewed on the JKL show on the 19th of September, 2018, from about 9:45 pm. I was accompanied by Chela Ruto, Hon. Juju, Hon. Nancy, Hon. Anita, and other male friends by then Odhis, Show, Swaleh, Pinye, among others," Sonko posted 


"After the show, I volunteered to take all those who were with me for kamvinyo and nyama choma which belonged to my friend... Tulipiga sherehe kwanza mimi nilikuwa na piga Hennesiree Vsop na majiree na (We partied and I was taking Hennessy Vsop and water) around 4 am I left for home. Since hii Mushene was there from the day Jacque was arrested, I managed to download the CCTV ya the club. Iko." He added.


However, Mike Sonko said he does not know Irungu, popularly known as Jowie.


"However, I do not know Jowie Irungu. Let the law take its course. That's is all I wish to state," Sonko stated.
