Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko has disclosed that he will now adopt former President Mwai Kibakis leadership style through having an economic advisory council to run the city if he wins the Nairobi gubernatorial seat.

Speaking to a local daily, Sonko together with his running mate, divulged that the Council would approve all major contracts awarded by his county.

The Senator stated that the council would be made up of professionals and individuals drawn up from the wealthy and less affluent from the city. “The council will verify every contract. Such that before you are paid it will have seen that the work is done properly. We will have a new management style.“Nairobi’s greatest undoing is bad leadership at the moment. Nairobi contributes 60 per cent of GDP and we receive highest allocation from the national government but there is nothing to show for it, which points to poor leadership,” the senator was quoted by the Nation.
