In a surprising turn of events, Thicky Sandra, a prominent Kenyan socialite, has come forward to defend her father, former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko, following the release of a controversial video showing him flaunting large sums of cash and using vulgar language. Thicky Sandra, known for her active presence on social media, took to her platforms to address the criticism her father has been facing.
The video, which quickly went viral on various social media platforms, showed Mike Sonko surrounded by stacks of money while engaging in a profanity-laden conversation. The footage sparked outrage and drew widespread condemnation from the public, who criticized the former governor for his ostentatious display of wealth and the use of vulgar language.
However, Thicky Sandra, who is no stranger to controversy herself, passionately defended her father’s actions in a series of posts on her social media accounts. She expressed her unwavering support for him, claiming that the video was taken out of context and that her father’s intentions were misunderstood.
According to Thicky Sandra, the video was recorded with some other intentions, where her father was celebrating a milestone achievement. She argued that the display of money was a symbolic gesture meant to inspire others and demonstrate the rewards of hard work and success.
“Guys please stop attacking my father in that video everyone gets upset and if it were you in that position, you would have flipped even worse” Thicky Sandra wrote on her Instagram story. ” Y’all don’t see things from his point of view but then run so quick to make a conclusion. He is human a beg ohh!!.”
While Thicky Sandra’s defence of her father received mixed reactions, with some applauding her loyalty and others criticizing her for condoning his behavior, the controversy surrounding the video has ignited a wider debate about the responsibilities of public figures and their portrayal in the media.
Critics argue that as a former governor, Mike Sonko should be mindful of his actions and the impact they may have on society, especially given his influence and public position. They maintain that his behavior sets a negative example and glamorizes a culture of materialism and excess.
Supporters of Thicky Sandra and Mike Sonko, however, contend that public figures should be entitled to celebrate their achievements and that the outrage is driven by envy and a lack of understanding. They assert that people should focus on their own journeys to success instead of criticizing others who have achieved it.
As the controversy surrounding the video continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the public’s perception of both Mike Sonko and Thicky Sandra will evolve. The incident has highlighted the complexities of fame, wealth, and responsibility in the age of social media, leaving many questioning the blurred lines between personal and public life.
