Sonko Rescue Team Is Back : Senator Mike Sonko Revives His Disbanded Team

mike sonko post

Philanthropic Nairobi senator Mike Sonko has reassembled  back  sonko rescue team that he had disbanded in the month of September last year .

The senator shared this new development on his Facebook page by urging those who had difficulties in transporting bodies of their loved ones to contact Sonko Rescue Team to provide the services at no charge.

“Once again I wish to notify the public that no family should have difficulties in meeting transport funeral costs of their loved ones to any part of Kenya. My team itasaidia familia yoyote ile isiyokuwa na uwezo ya kusafirisha mwili ya wapendwa wao wanapotuacha.” Sonko stated on his page

This might be seen as a total change from his declaration  during his Father’s burial late last year that he had disbanded his team and donated the ambulances to the Nairobi county government . The group offered ambulance services, hearse, wedding limousines, car breakdown, water tankers and security emergency services, all at no cost.

RESCUE TEAM 2

Sonko Rescue Team is an initiative by the Nairobi County senator, Hon. Mike Mbuvi Sonko. It is designed to enhance service delivery to the residents of Nairobi City County, as a fulfillment to the campaign promises made to the constituents during the run-up to the 2013 general elections. The program is also the Hon. Senator’s way of showing his gratitude to the constituents who had faith in him to elect him as their leader.

“Tuwache Jokes Za Kidero GRASS” : Mike Sonko Supports Governor Kidero

Senator Mike Sonko has extended his hand across to Governor Kidero to support his idea of promoting good for Nairobi county before President Obama arrives in the country.

kidero sonko new

Nairobi governor Kidero has for the last few days come under attack from Kenyans on social media regarding his efforts to plant grass on the pathways of Nairobi but Senator Sonko has come to his defense to not only rebuke the hashtag #KideroGrass but also support Kidero’s sentiments of the goal of this week.

In a statement he released Senator Mike Sonko stated :

Screenshot_2015-07-22-09-52-38-1

“I concur with my brother Governor Evans Kidero 

The main topic of this weeks’ summit affects us all. The role of entrepreneurs is fundamental in nurturing young talent and offering opportunities and employment.

Although urban areas like Nairobi offer increasing job opportunities, these opportunities are not growing at the same rate as our youth population, creating a troubling employment gap. So, while Africa is enjoying this renaissance of sorts, we are not seeing the same progress in access to jobs.
We will not be able to generate enough jobs, in the short term, so entrepreneurship is crucial to helping tackle this deficit. We must empower young people to create their own job opportunities.

So let us take advantage of the opportunities this week’s visit and summit present. President Obama symbolizes a young man who used his talent and drive to make a real difference. It is now time for those in government and our partners in the business sector to find the stars of the future….

“You Are An INSPIRATION” : Governor Evans Kidero Congratulates Senator Mike Sonko

Governor Evans Kidero congratulated his counterpart Mike Sonko ahead of his degree graduation that took place on Friday. The Governor who has reportedly found it hard to work with Senator since both were elected to office showed the other side of life by sending his message of praise and goodwill to the Senator who graduated with a degree in Business Administration. 

Mike-Sonko-graduates-Degree-in-Business-Admin-Kenyan-Methodist-University-3

Governor Kidero celebrated Mike Sonko as an inspirational leader who has walked a long way to reach his goal :

kidero

 

“Congratulations are in order Senator Mike Sonko as you prepare to graduate this coming Saturday! You have walked a long way to reach this goal. You are truly an inspiration and demonstration to all that hard work and dedication does pay,” said Kidero on his Facebook page.

Sonko in his part didn’t go deep to comment on the matter but made it clear that he was not graduating because he plans to vie for the office of Governor in 2017 elections but reports say otherwise. By graduating with a degree the Senator has now met the requirements of Section 22 that allows any candidate for the position of Governor to be a degree holder.

“I want to tell my constituents and Kenyans in general that I’m not graduating coz I want to become the Nairobi Governor. I’m not graduating coz I want to please voters in Nairobi to vote for me,” Senator Mike Sonko stated.

 

What’s your take. 

Do you think Senator Mike Sonko will vie for the 2017 elections ? and is he a good leader ?

“I Lost My Mum When I Was Young But Spiritually She Still Lives Inside” : Mike Sonko Pays Tribute To His Late Mum

On the wake of Tuesday morning Kenyans were shocked with the news of losing 36 Kenyans in Mandera county after they were mercilessly killed and others be-headed by suspected Al-shabab militants. Mike Sonko joined the rest of Kenyans in mourning the lost souls whom he describes as brothers and sisters and related the pain to the moment he lost his mother on the same day in 1997.

mike sonko

It’s a double tragedy for Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko who lost his mum on this same day when Kenyans are mourning the loss of 36 Kenyans in Mandera.

“Just the other day we lost 28 innocent hard working Kenyans who had aspirations and ambitions, now we have lost another allegedly 36 people in Mandera. Probably you may not feel the pain because your close friend or relative has not been affected, but as long as they are Kenyans, they are our brothers and sisters.

sonko mum

Its a Double tragedy for me On 2/12/1997 I lost my dear Mum Saumu Mukami Mbuvi. I lost my mum when i was a very young boy. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. We will miss you and love you always.You are missed every hour of every day.Your love will light our way. Your memory will forever be with us. I probably wouldn’t be where i am were it not for the sacrifices that she made. She might be gone physically but spiritually she will always live in my heart.God be with you till we Meet Again Mama, I love you.” Mike Sonko shared.

Giving Back To GOD!! Senator Mike Sonko Contributes All His Salary As Church Offering [See Payslip]

Senator Mike Sonko is known for his generosity in giving back to the society which were words he reiterated during his campaign in 2013. He has done it and continues doing it and now he has gone further to show his payslip which he used to give back to the church.

sonko browsing post

From his statement he says :

 

I did what i have always promised since I joined politics in 2010:- giving my salary back to wananchi. This time I directed my full salary to do the work of God in churches by giving my offering & contributing in various church harambees. As the bible says “give so that the house of the Lord should not lack.”

sonko salary

From the April pay slip gross salary of 1,015,025/= after refunding back all savings deposits & other deductions like NHIF, PAYE, the 50,000/= loan ( he is deducted for plastic surgery & bills 4 sinai victims) etc. to his gross salary. Then he divided his salary amidst:-
Nairobi calvary temple Buruburu-50,000/=;
Pentecostal church eastleigh (kiambio)- 50,000/=;
AIC Jericho-100,000/=
PCEA bahati-100,000/=
Pcea Kangemi 30,000/=; FPFKChurch Kibera 30,000/= ; Kawangware Methodist 30,000/=;
Pcea Lunga Lunga. 30,000/=; St. Francis Assis Mombasa 30,000/=; Sister Vivenzia memorial foundation 50,000/=; Pcea Umoja. 30,000/=;
Pcea Kangemi 30,000/=;

St. Joseph Catholic Church Mumbi Muranga 200,000/=; Aic yakamete Ngelani 100,000/=; 450,000/= foodstuffs, medicines, hiring of Doctors, nurses & lab equipments for a free medical camp I hosted yesterday & 200,000/= to Teen Challenge Kenya in a fund raiser for construction of a modern rehab centre for Nairobi youth to fight against drugs. & alcoholism.
Some may call it show off, pride, but it is not pretence.”

On stating why he did this ? Sonko said

It is a journey to self realization. Just like Psalms 105:1-2 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, proclaim his greatness: tell the nations what he has done…”
I believe that true generosity is when you give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing. But the secret is this: God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.

sonko trophy post

Mike Sonko seems to have listened to the cries of the tech-savvy generation and has pledged to fulfill this obligation by 14th February. If Sonko fulfills his promise then he would be the 1st Senator in Kenya to do so and this will move Nairobi to have a faster access on the internet.

sonko browsing post

On his official statement Mike Sonko says :

“My Nairobi people, I want to give you free WIFI internet connectivity services for free interactions and socialization. This is not gossip, it will happen by valentine because you are my loved ones. You have made me who I am today. Munasema?”

This will come with limitations as we are not sure if this service will be limited to the CBD alone as providing internet to other areas will need many access points to be installed.
