A close friend of the Governor divulged the information on Wednesday night when he went to visit Sonko at his posh home in Kikambala, Mtwapa, Kilifi County.

Ahmed Mohamed stated that Sonko was recuperating from the short illness which seemingly started during the December festivities.

Away on holiday

"Visited my Governor and Friend who is not feeling very well at his Kikambala Residence. We wish him a quick recovery. He's doing a great job for Nairobi," he tweeted.

It is not yet clear what Sonko is suffering from but the public was prompt to wish him a quick recovery when the report was shared.
