The trial of Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko is underway in the Senate.
The motion to impeach him at the county assembly was moved by Minority Leader Michael Ogada earlier this month and the assembly found him guilty of failing to approve a Sh37.4 billion budget to facilitate operations undertaken by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS).
Earlier this month, 88 of 122 MCAs voted to remove Sonko from office, on grounds of;
i) Gross Violation of the Constitution or any other law (the County Governments Act, 2012, the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2015 and the Public Finance Management Act, 2012)
