The Supreme Court has dismissed former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s appeal challenging his impeachment as Governor by the Nairobi County Assembly and the Senate.
The judges led by Chief Justice Martha Koome ruled that the impeachment of the Nairobi Governor was conducted in accordance with the constitution.
The Supreme Court ruling comes one day after Sonko was cleared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to vie for the Mombasa gubernatorial seat after a ruling by a Mombasa court that compelled them to do so.
