Impeached Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and the county Assembly began submitting their documents to the Senate yesterday as they prepare to argue their case next week.
The two parties have three days to furnish the Senate Clerk with their evidence.
Speaker Ken Lusaka told The Standard yesterday that the governor and the county Assembly have until Monday to file the particulars and responses ahead of the Senate plenary probe on Wednesday and Thursday.
The Senate will convene for a special sitting on Wednesday and Thursday to hear the submissions and cross-examine the embattled governor and his accusers.
