Mike Sonko and former DP Rigathi Gachagua attended the farewell service for Lucy Wambui Sonko shared a heartfelt memory of how he and businessman Francis Ng’ang’a first became friends.
The politicians recalled trying to buy luxury cars from Ng’ang’a, who initially mistook him for a broker.
Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has paid tribute to his longtime friend, businessman Francis Ng’ang’a, during a heartfelt farewell service for his late wife, Lucy Wambui.
Lucy, who passed away following complications from a reported botched medical procedure at Omnicare Medical Clinic in Nairobi, was honoured in Limuru with a service led by the Anglican Church.
Notable figures attended the emotional ceremony, including former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua and Sonko.
Reflecting on his early friendship with Ng’ang’a, Sonko shared a memorable encounter from their early days.
“Our friendship goes back to 2000 when Ng’ang’a had a small car showroom along Murang’a Road. I went to buy some big cars—a Mercedes and a Land Cruiser. I showed up in shorts and slippers, and when I told Ng’ang’a I wanted a Mercedes, he asked me to bring my parent or whoever had sent me, saying he didn’t deal with brokers,” he recounted.
Sonko went on to explain that a mutual acquaintance later vouched for him, revealing his identity to Ng’ang’a.
Ng’ang’a then reached out to Sonko that evening to apologise and ultimately sold him the cars.
“That was how our friendship began,” Sonko added, underscoring the years of camaraderie between them.
