Even though there were claims that Mike Sonko is into shady drug deals, he fiercely denied it stating that he was an astute businessman with investments in transport, real estate and other sectors.
“The only drugs which I know are the drugs that the doctors whom I hire during my medical camps bring. Those drugs given by doctors and nurses are the only ones I know.”
Besides that, Sonko is on record saying he acquired his wealth way before he was elected Makadara Member of Parliament in 2010.
“I’m worth more than the annual budget of Nairobi, and I’ve got some fixed deposit accounts of about $ 5 million in different banks. And I put money even way back before I became an Mp from the proceeds which I used to get”
