Sonko had promised to employ Conjestina as head of security at his Mombasa-based club.

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko now says he will not employ former legendary boxer Conjestina Achieng as Head of Security at his Mombasa-based club as earlier promised.   

In a statement on Twitter, Sonko stated that he would not offer Conjestina the job because of his history with alcohol insinuating that he might slip back to alcoholism.  

"My initial plan for Conje after healing was to employ her as the Head of security operations at the international Club Volume but changed my mind after thinking through what she has gone through before on drug and substance abuse. I don't want her around any environment associated with drugs," he said.

The former Governor has however said he would offer the athlete a gym instructor and a head of security job at a restaurant.

Sonko further added that Conjestina would not be allowed to return to Siaya to stay there and will only go there to visit relatives under tight supervision. 

"Conje will be the gym instructor and head security at Salama Bling Beach Resort, Kanamai. Together with her sister, coach, and son, we inspected the hotel where she'll be working and they all agreed. 

"She will now be making a living inorder to support her family, lakini tumeelewana nawao kwamba Siaya hatarudi tena atakuwa anaenda kusalimie under supervision na kurudi," Sonko stated.
