During the inauguration, Kidero said he is ready to recognise the former senator of Nairobi as Governor because he is the boss and he won in the elections.
The president was pleased and said that Kidero's move was a good sign and therefore wished him well in his future plans.
The president has assured the new governor that the national government shall support him as he governs the county to ensure that the plans he has will be fulfilled for a better city.
Kidero urged Governor Sonko to be aware of the challenges coming his way as he seeks to serve the capital. He also assured him of support for a smooth running.
"The biggest challenge facing the vision we set of the county is adequate funding as the revenue allocation formula did not take into account the unique nature services corresponding financial requirements. This is something I passionately fought for and I hope you will take over this fight," said Kidero.
He warned that if the challenge is not solved they will still face difficulties in delivering to the people.
President Uhuru also asked people to live in harmony and shun ethnic difference.
