Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has said that he used to be a loyal customer of sex workers.
In a live broadcast on his Facebook page, Sonko said that he used to seek their services before getting married to his wife Primrose Mbuvi.
The former Nairobi Governor warned against judging and criticising the sex workers since they indulge in the business due to economic hardships.
“There is a lot of challenges in this city. I see people criticising commercial sex workers yet they are their customers. I also used to be their big customer before I married my wife Primrose. There is nothing wrong with that. God is everything. “They do that out of hardships. If they had the ability they would not do such business,” Sonko said.
While responding to Deputy President William Ruto’s plea to give financial aid to sex workers, Sonko said he would also do the same.
He expressed his passion in helping the less fortunate in the society using his own financial muscle.
“I know the economy has not been favourable to many families. I am waiting for some money which I am being paid currently, over KSh 1 billion. I will channel 50% of it to the less fortunate families to change their lives,” he added.
On Monday, October 25, William Ruto made a Ksh 1 Million pledge to sex workers in Mtito Andei town.
His donation was prompted by an appeal by a sex worker who expressed willingness to engage in other economic activities other than prostitution if offered financial aid.
In his response, Ruto told the sex workers to organize themselves and form a Sacco where the funds will be deposited.
The offer attracted reactions from members of opposing camps, who accused Ruto of being a perverted man.
