Reprieve for Sonko as court grants him bail
Nairobi County Governor Mike Sonko has been freed on a Sh30 million bond, a surety of a similar amount or a cash bail of Sh15 million.
In a decision delivered by Anti-Corruption Court Magistrate Douglas Ogoti at the Milimani law courts Wednesday, he has also been barred from accessing county offices unless accompanied by an investigating officer or any other authorised person.
When accompanied to his office, he will only be allowed to pick up his personal belongings.
NO TRAVEL
The county boss, along with his co-accused, have also been ordered to deposit their passports and any other travel documents in court.
Sonko was also asked to ensure that his supporters maintain peace.
