MCAs allied to Governor Mike Sonko claim another plot has been hatched to impeach the county boss over his refusal to assent to the bill on the Sh37.5 billion 2020-21 budget. The Tuesday meeting was attended by the county assembly leadership which, however, said the gatherings were about the Building Bridges Initiative. In February, Minority Whip Peter Imwatok tabled a notice to impeach Sonko, accusing the first-term governor of a litany of misdeeds, including abuse of office and financial mismanagement. On March 2, Justice Byrum Ongaya of the Labour and Employment Court temporarily stopped Sonko's impeachment on the grounds that due process had not been followed. Justice Ongaya directed the county assembly to adhere to standing orders 67 and 72 which require substantive verification of the collected signatures.
