Kenyan comedian Timothy Kimani, popularly known as Njugush, recently left Kenyans in stitches with his hilarious imitation of former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko flaunting millions.
In a satirical twist, Njugush showcased his rib-tickling mimicry using Kenya shilling coins and notes from a pink piggy bank, adding his unique comedic touch to the viral video.

Njugush's comedic take on Sonko's ostentatious display of wealth struck a chord with Kenyans, who appreciated his humorous commentary on the economic challenges faced by ordinary citizens.
