Pastor Victor Kanyari has made fresh revelations involving former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, claiming that he once lent him a substantial amount of money that was never fully repaid. Speaking during a public forum, Kanyari alleged that he loaned Sonko KSh 10 million, but was shocked when the former governor only refunded KSh 50,000, leaving a large balance unsettled.
Despite the revelation, Kanyari struck a conciliatory tone, saying he harbored no bitterness over the matter. He described Sonko as a personal friend and insisted that he believes the former Nairobi boss has a good heart. According to Kanyari, the issue did not damage their relationship, as he chose to view it with understanding rather than resentment.
The remarks quickly drew public attention, with many Kenyans reacting online to the striking contrast between the amount allegedly borrowed and the small sum repaid. While some questioned why such a large loan was issued informally, others focused on Kanyari’s forgiving stance, which they interpreted as an attempt to project maturity and goodwill despite the financial disagreement.
The claims have added another chapter to Sonko’s long history of public controversies, though the former governor has not immediately responded to the allegations. Political commentators note that such disclosures highlight the complex personal and financial relationships that often exist behind the scenes among prominent public figures. As the discussion continues, the revelations have fueled broader debate about accountability, trust, and transparency among Kenya’s influential personalities.
