Gov Mike Sonko

Mbuvi Gideon Kioko

Mbuvi Gideon Kioko or Mike Sonko as he is commonly known is the immediate former Member of Parliament for Makadara Constituency, in Nairobi Kenya. His first stint in parliament was through a by-election in which he floored established political figures- Ruben Ndolo. He became the first senator of Nairobi County after beating his rivals for the seat. Sonko also became the second governor of Nairobi County after a gubernatorial win in Kenya’s general election in 2017. His win indeed deserved all the attention it received as the billionaire defeated the then incumbent Evans Kidero to secure the seat.

Here is all you need to know about the politician.

Mike Sonko Bio

Mike Sonko was born on February 27, 1975. He grew up with his family in Mombasa where he was born. He had his primary education at Kikowani Primary School in Mombasa and went to Kwale High School, Kwale County, afterwards.

He did it all, tasted both worlds and still came out successful. Sonko spent his early years in crime, from mugging people in the streets of Mombasa to becoming a major international drug lord. He is a notorious jailbreaker, having escaped from Shimo La Tewa Prison under unclear circumstances.

Sonko towed the line of his father who was a successful businessman. What better way to practice his knowledge after school than working as an employee in one of his father’s businesses. Sonko’s father ran a property and real estate agency.

Sonko succeeded in proving to everyone that the experience gathered from his father who used to sell beach plots at the Coast to European buyers; massively paid off. While still in high school, he made profits up to the tune of Sh5 million under his father.

Wanting to create a career path in business, young Mbuvi took a course in Business Administration and Management at Edxcel International School in Mwanza and Pwani Business College.

From working as a sales manager under his father, Sonko gradually started his own business of purchasing and managing matatus (mini-buses/public vehicles) as well as real estate.

Its all about gold, pure gold and nothing but gold!
