The Milimani Anti-Corruption Court has ruled that former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and three co-accused persons have a case to answer in a Sh14 million corruption case linked to the alleged irregular award of a heavy equipment hire tender by the Nairobi County Government in 2018.

Trial Magistrate Isabellah Barasa delivered the ruling on Thursday, finding that the Director of Public Prosecutions had established a prima facie case on four counts against Sonko and his co-accused, Frederick Odhiambo Oyugi, trading as Yiro Enterprises, ROG Security Limited, and the firm's director, Anthony Otieno Ombok, also known as Jamal.
