Editor's Review The Kahawa West Law Courts has given a ruling in a case where former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is charged with terrorism. Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko can now breathe a sigh of relief after the Kahawa West Law Courts approved an application by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to drop terror charges against him and two other accused persons. In a ruling on Wednesday, Kahawa Law Courts principal magistrate Daniel Kiage noted that he had considered the application by the DPP as he ordered the withdrawal of the matter. The former county boss had been arraigned in February 2021 alongside Clifford Ochieng Ouko and Benjamin Onyango Odhiambo over the terrorism charges. Sonko's co-accused, Odhiambo, was charged with possessing a military camouflage jacket intended for the commission or facilitation of a terrorist act.
