Two hours after the post, Passaris shared an Mpesa receipt message to confirm that she had honored her promise.
“NFB6J1NBD4 Confirmed. Ksh10,200.00 sent to JOHN KIHENJA 0728 ** ** 05 on 11/6/19 at 4:32 PM,” she posted.
Sonko has since supported Passaris in disowning the photoshopped image.

The county boss, in his usual controversial style, said he could not be the one on the photo as he does not hug from behind.
“I can see some idleness by some hired people here. This is photoshop, I don't hug from behind,” the Governor said.
