“My team and I decided to start establishing enterprises in Mombasa, Nairobi, Kilifi, Kwale and Machakos counties on our path to opening entertainment spots. ” the ex-Governor disclosed.

Volume VIP club is decked out with Versace themes, fancy gold fittings, lighting fixtures, a 3D dancefloor, screens and more.

The club officially began operations towards the end of December 2021. It has proved popular with revelers at the Coast – among them international tourists and local celebrities.

Sonko stated that he chose to focus on his investments while fighting various legal battles. He maintained that the revenue helped him continue the philanthropic works he was known for.

“Also, this is to assist me in obtaining resources that I’d ordinarily utilize to carry out my charitable and philanthropic activities. I know God has good things in store for me in the future, and just because I’m not in office at the moment doesn’t mean I stop doing what I do best,” Sonko shared.
