Part of the problems facing Mr Sonko’s administration is his failure to nominate his deputy more than a month since the Supreme Court gave an advisory opinion. His former deputy, Mr Polycarp Igathe, resigned on January 12, barely six months after assuming office, citing failure to earn the trust of his boss to enable him to deliver services to the people. On Sunday, the Sunday Nation carried a detailed story about Mr Sonko’s administration, portraying a governor with little regard for order and protocol. CAMPAIGNWhat he does in the office during those hours, remains a matter of conjecture for keen observers. However, Sonko defended his performance, blaming Mr Kibicho and other senior government officials who he accused of “working hard to wreck his administration’s track record.”
