How Igathe’s Cartelism Failed Nairobi under Sonko – Kenya Satellite News Network

By Shadrack Nyakoe

Nairobian’s in the past years have been believing the former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko was the reason behind the fall of his regime.

New developments have it that the former Deputy governor Polycarp Igathe had fishy deals that led to delay and denial of services to citizen in Nairobi.

These deals include diverting county revenue to personal accounts and forcing the procurement officers to award tenders to companies related to him.

Igathe’s resignation at City Hall left the then Governor with double work after appointing activist Miguna Miguna failed by the county assembly citing him unsuitable to the position.

He resigned as Equity Bank’s Group Director in charge of Customer Experience and Product Management and returned his nomination papers to Jubilee Party before nominations.

“Azimio has formed a committee to look into areas where the coalition would field a single candidate to enhance its chances of winning and Nairobi is among the counties where the coalition mulls fielding one candidate for every seat,” said an insider from Jubilee Party.

Nairobi residents unfortunately have not welcomed Igathe to City politics believing he is a pessimist and would fail his electorates before lapse of his term.
