The Court of Appeal has upheld the impeachment of Mike Sonko saying his conduct did not meet the standards set for a Governor.

The flamboyant Nairobi governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko was impeached after the members of the Kenya’s Senate voted overwhelmingly to kick him out of the office 

The senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of four chanrges brought againt the governor which includes gross violation of the constitution, abuse of office, misconduct and crimes against national law. 

27 senators supported the charges against 16 who voted no. 

Sonko was first impeached by 88 members of the county assembly on December 3 when they voted to support the impeachment motion while 2 others voted against the move. 

The flashy governor, always in love with gold, survived the first impeachment motion in February 2021. 

Sonko has been at loggerhead with the national government especially President Uhuru Kenyatta whom he accuse of meddling into Nairobi county matters.
