Sonko enrolled his daughter Sandra Mbuvi in the prestigious Brighton International University in London.
The former Nairobi governor on September 21, 2023, bid goodbye to his daughter at the airport as she flew to the UK.
“With a heart full of mixed emotions tonight, I am very happy but sad at the same time seeing off my lovely daughter Sandra Mbuvi to London, where she’ll be joining Brighton International University for a four years course after graduating from St. Austins Academy, Nairobi.
“Dear daughter, i want you to know how proud I am of the adventurous spirit within you. Watching you spread your wings and embark on this exciting journey to study abroad fills me with happiness for all the opportunities and experiences that await you.
“Yet, at the same time, a part of me feels a profound sadness, realizing how much I’ll miss your presence, our daily conversations, and the warmth of your smile. The house will feel emptier without your laughter and that of your mum, who will also be away with you for four months as you adopt the new environment and culture.
“Safe travels, and may your journey and new life be filled with success and happiness. I love you so much,” Sonko wrote.
