Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has dismissed allegations that he travelled to Vietnam as part of the team sent by the Kenyan government to stop the execution of Margaret Nduta.
Speaking on Tuesday morning, the former county head clarified that he was still in Kenya and that the clip circulating on social media, purporting to show him in Vietnam, was fake.
The footage shared on TikTok claimed that Sonko had travelled to the Asian country, where he met Vietnamese government officials to address the looming execution of Nduta, a 37-year-old Kenyan woman found guilty of drug trafficking.
While addressing the matter, Sonko stated that the clip allegedly showing him in Vietnam was actually from a photo he had taken alongside Chinese officials at his office in Nairobi.
