Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko shares an embarrassing trial struggling to get a hospital bed for a county colleague who tested positive for COVID-19.

Sonko, who once shared the global virus care packages that included alcohol, highlighted how his team went to three different city hospitals in search of admission, all in vain.

“Covid-19 is serious. We have checked all city hospitals for beds. Luckily, we finally found one at Ruai Family Hospital. Have your masks on and sanitise,” he said.Sonko revealed how he unsuccessfully inquired about admission at several medical facilities within Nairobi, but most were full.
