Questions arise as the former Nairobi County Governor Sonko gets denied from helping Baby Sagini. Sonko, on 6th April, 2025, issued an update on Baby Sagini. In 2022, Baby Sagini’s eyes were gouged out by a relative.
Sonko gets challenged by Court Orders
Former governor Sonko further narrates that the prosecution of the individuals responsible for the crime is not enough. Therefore, the innocent boy needs to undergo comprehensive treatment even after getting care in the children’s home.
Mike Sonko wrote in a statement, “Some people are so inhuman and heartless. Imagine Baby Sagini, the baby whose eyes were gouged out by his relatives 3 years ago, has not received any serious medical attention to date due to frustrations by a children’s home managed by the notorious Child Welfare Society.”
Mother’s Unheard Plea
Baby Sagini’s mother, Maureen Nyaboke, expressed her frustrations as she tries to access her child. A team of Indian eye surgeons had arrived in the country to visit another girl at the children’s home. The doctors who came to this South C-based children’s home expectedly had to operate on Baby Sagini.
On the contrary, the officials at the children’s home aggressively denied her the plea. Unfortunately, even after the mother presented court orders from Kisii to Nairobi, she still failed.
Maureen Nyaboke narrates, “I have come all the way from Kisii because I got word that Sonko was willing to help my child. I went to the children’s home, but I was chased away as if I did not give birth to that baby.”
Further, she claims, “I was not allowed to see him. They sent me away to get a court order from Kisii and then another one in Nairobi, but they still chased me away. They do not want to listen to me. Please help me so that my child can be taken to the hospital.”
A well-documented video claims that Sonko allegedly cannot offer any sort of sponsorship. Court orders restrict this well-known tycoon from offering support as the Indian doctors agreed to treat the little boy.
