Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko now claims that ‘dirty minded’ politicians are blocking him from helping Baby Sagini whose eyes were gorged out in a bizarre incident that shocked the country.
Sonko says he is facing pressure following his offer to help Baby Sagini secure an eye transplant in China.
He adds that with many politicians dismissing his offer to help as a mere PR stunt.
“Those trying to politicize the issue of Baby Sagini should watch this video to the end and learn something. I normally don’t do PR when helping people. I have done it successfully many times.
“So tuwache siasa mbaya mimi sitaki kiti yoyote Kisii na hakuna campaign zinaendelea kwa sasa. Merry Christmas,” he wrote.
Sonko added that he has twice tried to reach the 3-year-old boy unsuccessfully.
He says the boy has also missed two important doctor appointments.
However, Sonko says bad politics will not stop him from getting Sagini the help he direly needs.
“Merry Christmas to Baby Sagini and his 7yrs old sis Shantel. Despite my efforts to help I have not had access to them due to bad politics being played around by some dirty-minded politicians who think I’m in this case for PR and political mileage purposes but that won’t stop me from pursuing the matter I’m sending their small Christmas gifts through a good Samaritan who is also helping on the ground Esnahs Nyaramba.
“Last week Baby Sagini missed two important appointments with Dr Kishor at the Westlands laser eye hospital.
“We wanted the baby’s review report to be emailed to China so that we can start the process of flying him there for the implant of artificial eyes. Politicising the issue and denying me access to him and his sister will not stop me from helping,” Sonko wrote.

Sonko had promised to sponsor baby Sagini access specialised treatment abroad.
He said he had identified a hospital in Shenzhen southeastern China which specialises in eye implants that could handle Junior Sagini’s case.
Sonko said he had contacted the hospital and briefed doctors about Baby Sagini’s case.
“I have this afternoon conducted thorough research on which is the best hospital that can at least attend to Baby Sagini’s emergency case and found there’s a hospital in Shenzhen, South China, called Dennis Lam Eye Hospital which does eye implants,” Sonko said
“However, after contacting the hospital we were advised Baby Sagini must have a referral from at least two Kenyan hospitals.
