Lawyer John Khaminwa has walked out of court during the hearing of former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s corruption case.
Khaminwa cited bias in the form of not being furnished with the proper documents as the reason for walking out of the proceedings, while also questioning the decision by court to exclude media from coverage.
“I have left the courtroom. I do not think it will be fair for me to be party to proceedings where I don’t even have instructions from the governor, and as such, I will not be of use to him,” he said outside Milimani Law court on Tuesday.

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko will continue staying in hospital until his health improves.
Kahawa Law Court Magistrate Diana Mochache directed that he should remain at Nairobi Hospital until he is healthy enough to battle the State, whether he should be held for 30 days in a bid for sleuths to investigate terror claims against him.
In court yesterday, the hospital submitted a report indicating that the former Senator should be closely monitored by a doctor.
At the same time, the court directed that Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) should not interrogate him while in hospital. He will return on February 26 for a mention of his case.
