Nairobi senator Mike Sonko is the talk of town. Why? Well Sonko hurled insults at officials during a funeral and demanded that he talk because he is basically the "acting president".

Sonko was speaking at the funeral of Dolamu Oduwole, husband to Machakos governor

Wavinya Ndeti. He died after his blood pressure shot up.

"Rais Uhuru is in Togo, DP William Ruto ako France I am number three in

command politically and socially. I am now the acting president of the

republic of Kenya. All these police officers and vehicles you see are here because am now the acting President,"

Sonko who was asked to wind up his speech after talking for more than 10 minutes began shouting at the master of ceremony telling him to leave him alone.

The seemingly angered Sonko then walked towards the MC and tried to throw a punch warning him not to switch off his microphone.

"You can't do that to me. When Raila was talking no one disrupted him," he said.

"Hapana shika mimi...Taka taka gasia nyinyi. Wasituletee Kwendeni kabisa

huko."

His behavior compelled Cord leader Raila Odinga who was present during the service to leave accompanied by his bodyguards.

Mike Sonko's actions have inspired a twitter hashtag, #GrowUpSonko.

Here are some of the tweets.
