Motion to impeach Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko ongoing at Senate. [Elvis Ogina, Standard]
The impeachment of Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is an indictment of the Jubilee Party and its leadership comprising President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto.
Mr Sonko has not changed one bit since he began his political career. He was a well-known commodity when he decided to run for governor ahead of the 2017 election.
It is telling that the Jubilee Party looked at Mr Sonko’s credentials and decided he was fit to be governor of the most important county in the country. Therefore, his impeachment is not simply a personal matter for the governor. It also speaks volumes about the judgment of Jubilee’s leadership.
