Senators meet on Wednesday to discuss the method of hearing Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s impeachment case and the removal bid has divided lawmakers. The Star has established that Sonko’s impeachment has divided the house along the pro- and anti-handshake lines. These divisions were witnessed during the hearings of cases against Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, whose impeachment was upheld, and Kirinyata Governor Anne Waiguru, whose impeachment was rejected. Sonko has reached out to a number of senators to reject MCAs' impeachment motion. During the sitting on Wednesday, the Senate clerk will read out charges against Governor Sonko to the House.
