Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko on Saturday addressed allegations that he received millions of money as bribes and kickbacks from various companies.
This comes a day after the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) presented documents in court highlighting the money trail of the alleged bribes that amounted to Sh39 million.
According to Sonko, politics should not be involved in the war against corruption.
Taking to his Twitter handle, the county boss denied the allegations adding that he won't be silenced by intimidation.
"No amount of intimidation can silence me. Issues raised by a section of gutter press today were raised 2 months ago & I responded. War against graft shouldn't be politicised. I've never diverted dev't money to enrich myself. Check link for details." Sonko's statement on Twitter read.
The embattled governor further shared photos of various documents including an affidavit, contract award letters among others.
EACC in its affidavit had indicated that the governor received the money from four companies after awarding them with contracts without following the required procedure.
Governor Sonko had initially moved to the court in a bid to stop the EACC from investigation him.
He cited that the EACC's investigation had been compromised and termed it as a 'witch-hunt'.
His request was however turned down.
An investigation into the corruption allegations levelled against Sonko were transferred to the anti-corruption division of the High Court.
