Former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has opened up about a photo of a woman sitting behind him which has been trending since Saturday night.
The picture which has elicited heated debate appears as if a woman seated behind Sonko at an event did not have undergarment.
But Sonko has cleared the air that someone could have altered the photo through a software in move that has made him a punching bag online.
In a lengthy statement on X, Sonko has explained the photo was taken in Kitui where he was a chief guest during the event.
Here is Sonko’s explanation as posted on X, Sunday 18, 2024.
The image has been edited to suggest that the woman’s rose coco was exposed, which is not the case.
Although there were different women who sat on that particular seat behind me which was purposely reserved for CS Penina Malonza who arrived at the function after we were all seated, we have keenly compared the photo with the original one severally and arrived at the conclusion of the photo being a photoshop.
Surely, why would someone take an image of a Photoshoped rosecoco and plant it on the thighs of an innocent woman? Even though the woman is not known to me, and not just a face in the crowd but someone’s mother, sister, daughter, or aunt, she deserves dignity and respect.
Therefore, I’m appealing to anyone who is in contact with her to immediately get in touch with me or bring her to my offices so that we can make arrangements to sponsor her and her family for counselling sessions.
I would also want to advise the members of the fourth estate and fellow “bloggers” when shooting cut-aways or photos and videos of politicians at close range for news or stories just avoid zooming women’s rosecocos especially during this hot season when the majority of our lovely women don’t put on panties. So sio lazima upeleke macho yako kule ndani kabisa kwa rosecoco na umeacha rosecoco yabibi yako kwa nyumba, Siungefungua ya bibi yako kwanza hata uirambe ndio uende ukazoom za wamama wengine.
