Ex-Nairobi governor Mike Sonko snubbed an invitation to appear before the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (Ipoa) over alleged harassment by police. However, the Star has established that Sonko gave the invite a wide berth. We have tried to reach out to him but he has never responded,” Ipoa board member disclosed to the Star. No sooner had the meeting started than the officers stormed the premises, teargassed Sonko, MCAs and journalists who were covering the event. Days before his impeachment, senate’s Justice and Legal Affairs committee gilled Ipoa chairperson Anne Makori over the incident.
