Mike Sonko Daughter Saumu Says She Buys Clothes At Gikomba, Doesn't Do Fake Nails: "Zilinikataa"

• Saumu Mbuvi said she prefers clothing from local markets Toi and Gikomba, eschewing expensive attire
• Didmus Barasa has proposed that the government impose higher taxes on luxury items such as expensive clothes and fake nails to support social programs
• In response, Saumu asserted her disinterest in high-end fashion and artificial nails, declaring her contentment with her choices and love for Kenya

Saumu Mbuvi, the first daughter of former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko, has shared that her wardrobe is exclusively composed of locally sourced attire from Toi and Gikomba markets.

This statement was in response to Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa’s proposal that the government levy higher taxes on artificial nails and high-end garments.

Should government increase tax on expensive clothes?

Speaking in Vihiga, Barasa expressed his desire for the government to impose increased taxes on individuals donning apparel valued over KSh 10,000 and women's products like nails.

"I want the government to increase taxes to anyone wearing clothes worth more than KSh 10,000, ladies' products including nails and the be added to the Cash Transfer Programme. This can be made possible if MPs avail themselves and we change that into law," he said.

"At least I wear clothes from Toi and Gikomba markets. I don't do fake nails, as they are not my things. I'm safe. Kenya, my motherland," she wrote.
