DAILY POST: Here is the name of the NASA woman that RAILA ODINGA wants to be named as MIKE SONKO’s Deputy - The handshake is working magic 07:36
Friday January 11, 2019 - Nairobi Governor, Mike Sonko, has said he is consulting with National Super Alliance (NASA) leader, Raila Odinga, before naming his deputy. Last year, Sonko’s deputy, Polycarp Igathe, resigned and the seat has been vacant for almost a year. Addressing a Press Conference in Kilifi on Friday, Sonko said he is consulting with NASA on the best candidate to deputise him. Sonko said that he already had a nominee in mind, without mentioning the name, and was set to unveil the individual until a letter from NASA requesting him to defer the exercise to give their nominee a chance to be considered reached him.

“I was ready with a nominee but I received a letter from NASA requesting me to consider their nominee, Rahab Wangui, for the DG position.”

“Therefore, I shall not be forwarding the name in the spirit of handshake to allow for more consultation,” Sonko said. However, Sonko has maintained that his deputy will be a woman.
