Sonko case
A Magistrates court will today rule on whether former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has a case to answer based on the amended charge sheet in a Sh24m graft case.
The High Court last year (2024) reinstated the graft case saying the Magistrate made a mistake by acquitting Sonko and his co-accused when it relied on the original charge sheet instead of the amended one.
Justice Nixon Sifuna in setting aside Sonko's acquittal said the case will be retried by a Magistrate other than the trial Magistrate Douglas Ogoti.
The new magistrate, he said, shall start by making a fresh ruling on the basis of the evidence that's already on the record on whether the accused persons have a case to answer.
The then-trial Magistrate Douglas Ogoti acquitted Sonko, Anthony Ombok and ROG Security Ltd in 2022 on the basis that the charge sheet presented by the DPP was defective.
