Mike Sonko just dropped a curveball that has everyone talking.
The former Nairobi governor said he’s ready to walk away from the alcohol and club business completely. His reason? He wants to get closer to God.
But it’s not that simple.
Sonko revealed he’s currently stuck with alcohol stock worth KSh 50 million inside one of his clubs. And now he’s genuinely conflicted.
“Hii club iko na pombe ya 50 million, sijui nipeane, sijui nifanye nini,” he said.

That line alone has sparked a wave of reactions online. Some people are praising the move, saying it’s a sign of personal growth and accountability. Others aren’t buying it, questioning whether this is a real transformation or just another headline moment.
The big question now is what he actually does next.
For someone like Sonko, whose brand has always mixed politics, flash, and controversy, this pivot hits differently. Walking away from nightlife money isn’t a small move.
So far, he hasn’t given a clear plan on what happens to the alcohol or the businesses tied to it. But one thing is clear, he wants out.
And now, everyone is watching to see if he follows through.
