Following the never ending rumours surrounding Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and Nairobi Women rep Rachael Shebesh, the senator has finally come out to clear the air.

Speaking to the Nairobian newspaper, Sonko says that he loves Shebesh as a sister, and has never slept with her. He said there’s no romantic spark between them.
“I love Rachel so much as a good friend, but people just exaggerate things. I haven’t slept with her. I don’t know why people want to spoil Rachel’s good name. There is no romantic link between us” 

The flamboyant senator added that they are really close friends, perhaps closer than some people expect.
“I can die for Rachel, she is like a sister to me, and she can die for me. Her problems are mine, and my problems are hers. We are friends and nothing can ever come between us. She is a married woman, and I am someone’s husband. So let me be clear that there is nothing at all going on between us,” he said. 
“We are family friends and people should stop speculating  when I am seen with her drinking a soda. She campaigned for me and I campaigned for her. Our families know each other, and I am tired of saying this over and over, there is nothing between us,”

Okay perhaps this will bring bring the rumour to an end.
