Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has claimed that he was given liquor before surrendering Nairobi to President Uhuru Kenyatta.

"I was not sober. Hawa watu wa State House waliconfuse na pombe kwanza (The people at State House confused me with alcohol first) by the time I was meeting the President for the signing I was just seeing zigzag," he said.

Via Facebook on Thursday evening, Sonko said that even though he was drunk, he had to sign the documents out of the respect he had for the President.

"...and also both of us meant well for you the Great people of Nairobi," he said.

Sonko noted that he will not entertain intimidation from NMS boss Mohamed Badi.

"...huyu jeshi akiendelea (this military man) by not complying with the law then they better impeach me just like Waititu but I will not entertain his intimidation anymore," he said.

"He's forgetting this is just a contract and it can be terminated at any stage..."

Four functions of Nairobi County Government were handed over to the National Government.

Sonko and Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa signed an agreement.

Sonko handed over the functions of the County to the National Government, pursuant to Article 187 of the Constitution.

Since Sonko surrendered county functions on March 18, there has been a deep-rooted rivalry between him and Badi.
