MIKE SONKO DOES THE UNTHINKABLE ONCE AGAIN...HE COULD LOSE HIS SENATORIAL SEAT THIS TIME

Flamboyant Nairobi City County Senator and philanthropist Mike Mbuvi Sonko could be in deep trouble that may see him lose his Senatorial seat.

Mike Sonko has missed 8 consecutive sittings of the Senate contrary to Standing Orders which stipulate that a seat can be be declared vacant if the incumbent misses 8 consecutive sittings.

In a heated Senate session yesterday, Minority Leader, Moses Wetangula, asked the Speaker to declare the Nairobi Senatorial seat as vacant since Sonko has missed 8 sittings, arguing that he was absent without permission since his request to abdicate his Senate duties to step aside to facilitate room for investigations into corruption allegations levelled against him was rejected.

Deputy Speaker, Kembi Gitura, confirmed that indeed Sonko’s request to step aside in compliance with President Uhuru Kenyatta’s directive was rejected.
