Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko on Monday night led a team from his office to Kenyatta National Hospital where they settled a Sh56,000 bill for a woman and her baby who had been detained. After securing the release of the baby and her mother, Agnes Murage, Sonko's team went to a supermarket where they generously shopped for the young family. However, the court on Tuesday heard that it was not Sonko who cleared the bill but a "concerned citizen". Murage's story touched many Kenyans' hearts with Embakasi East MP Babu Owino also promising to settle the legal and hospital bill. Most Kenyans on social media think Sonko was 'pulling a PR stunt' after he posted a recording of his rescue team doing shopping for Agnes.
