Embattled Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is deploying a multi-pronged strategy to scuttle his removal as senators convene on Wednesday to decide how to handle his impeachment. The lawyers are also expected to troop to court on Monday to challenge his removal, which the governor says was riddled with illegalities and irregularities. Sonko’s behind-the-scene activities emerged as Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka is expected to gazette a special sitting to consider the case against governor. Sonko, the Star has established, is piecing together evidence to counter the county assembly’s assertion that 88 MCAs voted for his impeachment. Sonko said he would like his impeachment handled by all the 67 senators as opposed to a committee of 11 members.
