Recorded conversations, bedroom discussion, KSh10M claims: Sonko accuses Uhuru of interfering with impeachment case

Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has made fresh and explosive allegations against retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, claiming that the former Head of State interfered with his legal battle against impeachment.

Former Nairobi governor claims ex-President directed Justice Chitembwe not to issue orders blocking his removal from office

Testifying in his defence in the KSh20 million graft case, Sonko told the Anti-Corruption Court that retired High Court Judge Said Juma Chitembwe confided in him that he had been contacted by Kenyatta and allegedly directed not to grant orders that would have stopped his impeachment.

Sonko, who was testifying before Magistrate Isabellah Barasa, claimed that Justice Chitembwe showed him communication which, he alleged, contained the former President’s instructions.

“Justice (rtd) Chitembwe called me and showed me communication with the retired President directing him not to grant the orders sought by Sonko in the impeachment case,” Sonko told the court.
