Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is unapologetic for suspending 16 county employees.
“Suspending or sacking of officials is a global governance and management practice, and I will not have any qualms at all firing, suspending or reshuffling employees a thousand times until I instill the right work culture and attitude in Nairobi to enable me realize my dream of restoring the long, lost glory of the ‘Green City under the Sun’,” he said in a statement on Friday.
Sonko suspended 16 county officials following the Monday tragedy at Precious Talent school that killed eight pupils.
The governor protested against an article published by the Star on Thursday which stated the county was thrown into a crisis following his move to suspend several staff.
Sonko said, “Nothing can be further from the truth.”
