Nairobi deputy governor Polycarp Igathe resigned om Friday afternoon as Nairobi deputy governor barely four months in office citing trust issuea between him and Governor Sonko.
Indeed anybody can agree that itis not easy to work with Sonko especially if you dont have a chemistry like that of Uhuru and Ruto or Raila/Mudavadi/Kalonzo.
Legally governor Sonko can decide to do any of these three things,
Option one: Resign as well
Option Two: Nominate another deputy
Option Three: Work without a deputy for a full term

Well, hopefully he doesnt recall his buddy and Hon Mbugua from EALA to be his deputy.
Mike Sonko was suspicious of his deputy whom many believe was seconded by mt Kenya mafia to checkmate Sonko.
It is rather obvious that Uhuru was keen on his family friend Dr Evans Kidero retaining the city but Sonko outmaneuvered the system.
Statehouse will most likely nominate the next deputy and may most likely be one of the outgoing cabinet Secretaries like Phylis Kandie or Hon Ababu Namwamba.

That’s the effect of rigging elections. They’ve discovered thing are not working.
Since the computer generated governor is in the matatu business within the cbd. He should start by removing all matatus from all roads junctions and allow flow of traffic than jamming all road junctions by matatus using them or converting them to stages. Wake up and solve the problem, cos all new roads junctions are being invaded by matatus.
This junctions should be freè from matatus within your 100 days in office but this hasn’t happened cos you are part of the problem facing the cbd traffic jams.
The other crime creators are the police, they too own this matatus that are inveding roads junction across the country. They should not be creating this unnecessary jams on our road.
These useless matatus on our roads should be booked by the traffic police in creating revenue for the broke regime.
Nice one.
