Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has offered to help comedian and fashion designer Sammy Kioko recover Ksh19 million allegedly owed by the Machakos County Government for an embroidery tender completed nearly two years ago. Sonko's pledge comes after Kioko tearfully detailed the severe impact of the non-payment on his business and family.

• Kioko is reportedly owed Ksh19 million by the Machakos County Government for a tender delivered approximately two years ago.
• Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko publicly offered during The Obinna Show Live to use his political connections to mediate the payment dispute.
• The Machakos County Government has denied Kioko's allegations, calling them "unfounded" and "politically motivated," while Kioko and a tailor named Maureen insist they have evidence of delivery.
