The impeachment motion against Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko will proceed today after a Nairobi court declined to stop the Senate from holding the debate.

Through lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui, Sonko had pleaded with Justice Nduma Nderi to restrain the Senate from subjecting him to trial over allegations of misconduct. The judge, however, declined the request and said he will issue a substantive ruling on the matter later in the afternoon.
