Sonko was sworn in sometimes in September last year. Still on probation. Let us give him time & the benefit of doubt!!!

Try not to be taken in by propaganda. There were no leaps in China or Russia.

Hence the argument fails.

Most organisations have 6 months probation. How long do you propose his probation to be?

Wate Wangu syndrome

As long as any city has hawkers in the doorsteps of banks and beggars with their whole clan, you will continue waiting.

Sonko has failed and there's no need to wait for the results. They are there for all to see.

Give this watu wangu guy another six months and hawkers shall be at KICC and he shall still have his rescue team with findio removing trash at night.

Tycho, it's also ok to admit that you made a mistake 5 months ago. Admitting mistakes makes a man grow stronger.

Me thinks these guys are setting up Sonko to fail because of his lone-ranger approach. He is street smart but you need the other smarts more to run a city... If he doesn't play ball soon with the Jubilee heads, he will be lucky to survive impeachment leave alone re-election in 2022.

As usual Tycho your answers make me rethink my thoughts.

It is true that given the state of the city before Sonko, one would not be faulted for thinking that there could be something better.

My view given my personal knowledge of the man, true or untrue, was that he was the worst alternative.

My view hasn't changed.

But I can see why mama mboga who has nothing, can look to him as alternative.

I'm thinking of the 100 licenses that one has to have to operate a kiosk in Nairobi. I created a company in another country and it cost me 1000 bob. All I did was go to the city hall, was asked for the name, paid the fee and left with a company fully paid with all city fees combined. Try that in Kenya and you have to talk to a lawyer.

So yes, I can see that.

So the question is. Is the problem in Nairobi Sonko? Or our systems so baaaad that we are willing to be shafted by anyone because the last man shafted us too?

Are we really voting the best candidates? Or is it a case of losing hope in our society so much so that it's any candidate than that one?

ok, accepted . So by Feb 2019 there should be real changes we can see and feel?

@2012 could have a point on no development was meant by ur matatu guy...u wonder why Igathe gave up... kuna mambo city hall na expected big eating!🤑🤑🤑

Explain the increase in the single business permit (UBP) moved from 20k to 40k in a span of new governor getting into office in Sept and now? Now those “watu wake” watajua why Kenyans hate matatu guys... the impunity is real and it has just been brought to city hall by the grand sheriff matatu operator.... all those having dreams of starting business the shock awaits you... from the KRA collector, NCC matatu guy and his goons, the money u have to pay to this garment for no show will give u BP🤕🤢🤢😱....

I figure Igathe bolted when he saw the “eating plan”🤯🤯😱

On top of that add the fire license fee, outdoor advertising and they have introduced cess fee as well. For the town dwellers, cess is a fee charged by local authorities on agricultural produce or natural resources where they are produced. In return, the county government boosts infrastructure in those regions.

But today if you are caught delivering your broilers in the CBD, they will charge you 100/- cess per bird. Much higher than your profit margin. Doesn't matter you farm in Thika. Joho has introduced the same for tea in Mombasa. The only reason tea goes to Mombasa is because the auction is held there plus the port. But the idiot wants a piece of the cake as well.

Sonko "chooses" Simon Mbugua as Deputy Governor....
