Sakaja blasts Murkomen, Mutula Jnr for representing Sonko

Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja has blasted his counterparts for presenting Governor Mike Sonko in his ongoing corruption cases.

In an interview with a local fm station Sakaja said the senators have forgotten that they are the custodians of the devolution.

He saidthat senators Kipchumba Murkomen (Elgeyo Marakwet) and Mutula Kilonzo Jr (Makueni) agreeing to represent Sonko means that they were siding with corrupt leaders who are undermining devolution.

The young senator was categorical that it is a complete conflict of interest as mch as Sonko enjoys the right to have the lawyer of his choice and best legal advice but that lawyer or his lawyers should not be Senators who are supposed to defend the county.
The Senate is mandated to protect county funds from corrupt individuals and not the reverse,” Sakaja added.

Murkomen and Mutula are part of Sonko’s high profile defense team that is seeking to free him off Sh357 million corruption claims leveled against him by the DPP Noordin Haji.

Sakaja also said it is absurd that both Murkomen and Mutula will still appear in the senate after defending the accused persons who are alleged to undermine devolution. That will be a complete show impartiality.

Many graft cases have been reported before in Nairobi county that may have links to Sonko and therefore he has no choice but to go through the due court process.
