Sonko Granted Bail in Terror Case
Mike Sonko received a temporary reprieve at a Kahawa court on Thursday after he denied terror-related charges.
The former Nairobi governor pleaded not guilty to accusations of financing terror activities.
The charge sheet read in part: “On or before January 1, 2021, at an unknown place within the Republic of Kenya, you (Mike Sonko) jointly with others not before Court knowingly recruited unknown persons to commit or participate in the commission of a terrorist act in contravention of the said-Act.”
A second charge states Sonko was “found in possession of property for commission of a terrorist act, contrary to Section 6 of the Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2012”.
