Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka has suspended the process to establish an 11-member team to investigate Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko after the Leader of Majority, Samuel Poghisio, refused to move the motion that could have established the committee. The Speaker had communicated to the House the decision by the Nairobi County Assembly to impeach the governor, going further to read the charges against the governor to an attentive House. “For the convenience of the House, I propose that you skip that order,” Mr Poghisio said, his voice barely audible. “I will gazette the two dates when the hearing of the charges against the governor will be conducted,” said Mr Lusaka. The accusationsSonko is facing charges related to violation of the Constitution, abuse of office and gross misconduct.
