"Do not be conned!" - Sonko sounds alarm over ‘fake charges’ for Rescue Team Services

Former Nairobi Governor and NEDP party leader Mike Sonko has warned members of the public against individuals allegedly demanding money for services offered by the Sonko Rescue Team, insisting that all the team’s services are provided free of charge.

Sonko’s warning follows an incident involving a man who approached the Sonko Rescue Team seeking a limousine for his wedding but was allegedly asked to pay more than KSh30,000 to secure the vehicle.

According to Sonko, the man was allegedly approached by individuals claiming to be his personal assistants who told him that payment was required before the limousine could be made available for the wedding.

Sonko has strongly disputed the demand, saying it does not represent the way the Sonko Rescue Team operates. He said wedding limousines, funeral assistance and other forms of support provided by the team are offered to members of the public free of charge.

The former governor said those who allegedly collected or demanded money in his name have been directed to return the money to the affected person or face disciplinary action.
