Relief for Mike Sonko as Court Acquits Former Governor in Money Laundering Case

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko was acquitted by a Nairobi court of money laundering charges, as the court found the prosecution failed to provide sufficient evidence. However, Sonko still faces charges related to irregular tender issuance during his tenure, including a tender for hiring heavy equipment valued at Ksh14 million. Sonko claimed that his legal troubles are politically motivated by individuals seeking to undermine his development policies.
