• Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko decided to bless some attendants at a city petrol station with some Christmas goodies
• He showed up armed with bundles of monies, which he effortlessly dispensed to whoever cared to be a taker

Nairobi - Activities at a city fuel filling station were almost brought to a standstill on Sunday, December 24, after former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko showed up with his entourage.

All was going on as usual until he alighted from his deluxe convertible Mercedes and made his intent clear.

What did Mike Sonko do at petrol station?

He was armed with bundles of notes, which he started dispensing one after the other to anyone who appeared in front of him.

As the attendants on standby leveraged the opportunity to benefit before any other passersby, Sonko was not discriminating.

Any passerby who got wind of the happenings and branched to tap into the 'blessings' succeeded in it.

A minor also counted herself lucky as the governor extended same gesture to her.

The confetti of money lasted a few moments after the generous politician confirmed no one was left out, driving out in the midst of his opulent convoy.

A section of Kenyans has had the luck to receive Christmas freebies from politicians.

Former president Uhuru Kenyatta blessed a section of Ruiru residents with early Christmas on Friday, December 22.

The locals had gathered at the JCM Church headquarters headed by Pastor Benson Kiengei.

How much money did Uhuru donate for Christmas?

Uhuru revealed he had been invited to come on board to bolster an initiative started by the church to support poor households in the Christmas festivities.

Taking cognisance of the prevalent state of the economy, he sympathised with the families which he noted were facing it rough.

He thus offered them KSh 1 million for Christmas goodies.

"Your pastor called me to tell me that he is having a party for those who are not able to provide for themselves in these difficult times. I told him I could not abandon our people and that whatever he doing, I would top him up. I have told him I will extend KSh 1 million so that he can buy unga for more people," he said.

He further promised to unite with them in the church soon.

"I wish you happy holidays to you all and your families and may God solve the problems we are going through," he said.

All the while, the excited congregants affirmatively responded to Uhuru's talk with lots of cheers.

This as President William Ruto hosted hundreds of Sugoi locals at his native residence the same day.

What did Ruto offer Kenyans at Sugoi?

Kenyans drawn from Uasin Gishu and the neighbouring Kakamega and Nandi counties jammed roads as goodies were offloaded from several lorries.

The president actively participated in the exercise as he handed the residents packets of wheat flour, cooking oil and rice in a yellow bag.

Ruto was accompanied by Mama Rachel Ruto, who kick-started the event with a powerful prayer.

Other leaders present at the event included Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja and Uasin Gishu governor Jonathan Bii, among others.

Some of the residents explained that the head of state has been consistent in the exercise, but this year has attracted a huge following.
