Popular Nairobi preacher Reverend Lucy Natasha has set the record straight on allegations that she is dating Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and that the wealthy governor finances her ministry as well as her flashy lifestyle.
Speaking to K24’s Betty Kyalo on Upclose With Betty, Natasha dismissed the claims, stating that her connection with Sonko is nthing more than a spiritual one.
“In actual fact the governor is very God-fearing and my connection with him is very spiritual. He is somebody I have prayed with many times …I have prayed with him over various issues and he is a God-fearing man.” Said Natasha.
“Of course I have never dated Mike Sonko. I don’t even know where this story came from.” She added.
The preacher added that Sonko is a respectable family man and dismissed her photos with the governor that were shared some time back alleging a romantic relationship as a fabrication.
She clarified that the photos in question and which fueled speculation that the reverend who is single could have warmed her way into Sonko’s heart were taken in Sonko’s office when he was still the Senator.
Controversial photos
“Actually the pictures going round were those we took with the current Governor while he was a Senator. They are professional pictures and people sometimes think they way they want too.
“Even from his side he is a very respectful man, a family man-he has his family so these are just fabrications.”
The preacher also defended her lifestyle that is characterised by a fleet of top-of-the-range cars with an elaborate security team on hand to protect her.
She maintained that she is often accompanied by her protocol team that maintains order and also gurad her.
