The current President stepped in to help quell the crisis, but his efforts did not succeed. Embattled Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on Tuesday had a message for leaders whom he described as ‘drunk with power’. In a rant posted on Twitter, Sonko hit out at leaders who sit at Harambee House although he did not mention any names. “Power comes, power goes, power is temporary, and transient but the will of the people, and the will of God, is eternal,” he wrote. The governor also referred to an incident in 2006 when the then leader of opposition, Uhuru Kenyatta, tried to quell a standoff between hawkers and the police.
