Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s daughter, Saumu Mbuvi has borrowed a leaf from her father and ventured into a business cherished by their family.
Saumu founded her own company which sells real estate properties just like Sonko did before he got into elective politics.
Saumu runs the business with her husband, Lamu Senator, Anwar Loitiptip who is the CEO.
According to her company’s online profile, she specializes in selling beach properties which range at between Ksh 8 million and Ksh 30 Million.
The company has plots and houses in Lamu, Malindi, Diani, and Mombasa towns along the Indian Ocean.
Some of the properties include a 5-bedroom mansion by the ocean whose price is listed as Ksh 29 million and a villa going for Ksh 30 million.
Sonko used to be a land and property dealer based at the Coast. Through the business, the governor made his first Ksh 1 million.
He also bought two beach houses for himself in Watamu and Diani. However, he sold the properties later on before he was voted Nairobi Governor.
Sonko had previously worked as a manager in the sales and marketing department of his father’s company.
The late Mzee Kivanguli was a shrewd property dealer in land and beach plots in the Coast, selling properties to European investors.
After the lands and property business, Sonko relocated to Nairobi where he invested in the transport industry. He bought and managed matatus which made him a household name in the county.
