A call came in at 9.45am to postpone our interview with Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko which had been scheduled for 10am last Friday. Health is one of the critical functions Sonko signed away at State House in the presence of President Uhuru Kenyatta in February. Sonko tells us that his daily routine and operations have not changed despite the NMS taking over the key county functions. However, he does not disclose how frequent he convenes his cabinet and how cabinet policies are implemented, especially for the ones touching on the transferred functions. As we conclude the interview at about 5.30pm, we are certainly not the last people Sonko meets on this day.
