Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is not yet off the hook after a section of Members of the County Assembly (MCA) called for his arrest following the nomination of his deputy.
The lawmakers on Sunday said that the county boss violated the bail terms he was granted after he was charged with misappropriation of Sh357 million belonging to the county government of Nairobi.
Led by Minority Whip Peter Imwatok, the legislators have asked the court to order for his arrest with immediate effect after he named Anne Kananu Mwenda as his deputy yet he had been barred from accessing his office over graft-related accusations.
“You were barred from your official office, where you were to be escorted by an investigative officer to pick up your personal belongings. This means everything you pick up from that office must be declared to the officers,” Imwatok (Makongeni) said on Sunday.
It has also emerged that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has requested for the official nomination of the DG in a bid to press charges against the governor.
The anti-graft body made a formal request through a letter addressed to Nairobi Speaker Beatrice Elachi.
Sonko has since insisted that he did not violate the law after he opted to pick a deputy.
