Mike Sonko, a former governor, wanted to help a journalist named Kimani Mbugua, who was struggling with mental health problems. Sonko heard about Mbugua's difficulties and decided to take action. He sent a team to find Mbugua and brought him to his office. At the office, they gave Mbugua clean clothes and let him take a shower.
Sonko talked with Mbugua for a long time and decided to help him recover. Because Mbugua needed special care, Sonko could not send him to Mombasa by plane. Instead, he arranged for Mbugua to be driven to a rehabilitation center for women. Sonko promised to make sure Mbugua would get better and might even work at the center after recovering.
Sonko shared stories about other people he had helped. He talked about a boxer named Conjestina Achieng, who was treated at the center and later became a counselor. He also mentioned Eunice Omollo, another journalist who was treated and then returned to work at a television station. She even made documentaries about important health topics.

The story highlights how important it is to care for people struggling with mental health and addiction. Sonko demonstrated compassion by helping Mbugua and supporting his recovery.
