"My initial plan for Conje after healing was to employ her as the Head of security operations at the international Club Volume but changed my mind after thinking through what she has gone through before on drug and substance abuse," Sonko wrote.
Sonko further emphasized that he does not want to see Conjestina anywhere near drugs, considering her past life.
Before securing the security job, Conjestina's coach, sister, and son inspected the working environment of the hotel and approved it for her to work there.
Sonko stated that they had reached an agreement that Conjestina would only visit her rural home in Siaya and would not stay there permanently.
