• Sonko came under heavy criticism after flaunting bundles of cash online while fighting off his relative who claimed the former County Boss is broke.

• This forced his daughter Thicky Sandra to join the conversation defending her father.

Social media influencer Thicky Sandra has come to the defense of her father Mike Sonko amid the uproar over his recent escapades online.

Sonko came under heavy criticism after flaunting bundles of cash online while fighting off his relative who claimed the former County Boss is broke.

The act prompted Sonko to be a topic of discussion with Netizens attacking him over his behaviour.

This forced his daughter Thicky Sandra to join the conversation defending her father.

She argues that her father is human and people should be mindful of the thing they say about him.

“Guys please stop attacking my father in that video everyone gets upset and if it were you in that position you would have flipped even worse yall don't see things from his point of view but then so quick to jump to conclusions his human to abeg!,” Thicky Sandra said.

On Monday night, Sonko stirred jealousy and envy in equal measure after posting a video showing off his wealth with an impressive show of force.

In the video, the politician can be seen opening huge suitcases full of wads of cash in foreign denominations as he called out a certain person for doubting his wealth.

"Ati sina pesa kwa sababu si saidi watoto," he started. "Nani ali kwambia sina pesa!?" an upset Sonko asked the unnamed person who had gotten his goat.

"Sina pesa ya kuharibu na watoto. Hii pesa ni ya kuharibu na mabibi wangu!" he went on. Not only that the proud provocateur went on to insist that the money he was showing off was just 'pocket money for car fuel'. (Talk about a humble brag!)

"Hii ni millioni mbili (pointing at the pocket money) Hapa yote ni millioni thelathini (Sh 30 million)."
