I want to warn you against looking down on those who come from poor backgrounds and those who aren’t dynasties.”Sonko was responding to calls by a section of leaders from the Amani National Congress (ANC) party to launch an onslaught for the impeachment of the DP.The leaders had accused him of undermining the Head of State. The claims by Sonko came a year after some leaders alleged that there was a plot to assassinate the DP.
