Court gives Sonko 14-day ultimatum

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has been a 14-day court ultimatum to respond to allegations levelled against him in a defamation suit.

The suit filed was by Nairobi businessman Mike Maina Kamau.

Kamau accuses Sonko of releasing a recording of their phone conversation in which he insulted him thereby initiating social media attacks which damaged his reputation and image.

The businessman accused the governor of interfering with his repossession of the 20-acre plot in Nairobi’s Kayole Estate despite a valid eviction order.

Lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui asked the court for more time to respond to the suit saying the governor was away on official duties and had not signed the replying affidavits.

Justice Msagha Mbogholi directed that the matter be mentioned on March 12 to confirm compliance.
