MP Makadara ‘Sonko’ charges withdrawn

A Senior Sergeant-at-Arms has withdrawn assault charges against Makadara MP Sonko at Parliament Police station.

Mike Gidion Mbuvi ‘Sonko’ was alleged to have assaulted the Attorney General (AG) Githu Muigai in the surroundings of Parliament and a senior parliamentary officer.

He had accused the AG of protecting a land grabber.

The National Assembly Speaker Kenneth Marende had summoned an urgent meeting of the potent Powers and Privileges Committee to discuss the allegations of assault levelled against Makadara MP, Gideon Mbuvi.

This was followed by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Keriako Tobiko who gave police seven days to investigate alleged assault by MP Gideon Mbuvi on a senior parliamentary staff.
