Sonko claims Uhuru orchestrated his impeachment, framed graft case
Sonko claimed that Kenyatta influenced his prosecution over corruption charges that he maintains were fabricated.
Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has accused retired President Uhuru Kenyatta of orchestrating his impeachment and framing him for corruption charges. Testifying in his defence before trial magistrate Isabella Barasa, Sonko alleged that senators were bribed to support his removal from office and that the former President had business interests in Nairobi County that were linked to the political tensions surrounding his administration.
Sonko's claims have not been established as facts by the court, and the hearing is scheduled to continue on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
