DPP Haji Orders Mike Sonko Arrest and Prosecution Over Graft

Updated: 06.12.2019

The Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji has ordered the immediate arrest and prosecution of Nairobi county governor Mike Sonko over allegations of corruption.

Haji says his office has sufficient evidence to prosecute Sonko and several county employees over alleged graft.

Other than Sonko, the DPP ordered the arrest and charging of county secretary Peter Mbugua, members of the county tender committee Patrick Mwangangi, Samuel Ndung’u, Edwin Kariuki, Lawrence Mwangi, Preston Miriti among others.

According to Haji, the governor and his staff face charges of conspiracy to commit economic crimes, willful failure to comply with the law and conflict of interest.

Other crimes Sonko will be charged with are conflicts of interest arising from having received monies from the county while serving as governor, unlawful acquisition of public property, money laundering and other economic crimes.

“I have ordered for the immediate arrest and arraignment of Sonko and other officials for the crimes of conflict of interest arising from having received money from the county of Nairobi while serving as governor, unlawful acquisition of public property, money laundering and other economic crimes,” Haji said at a media briefing.

According to Haji, the investigation by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) unearthed numerous instances of criminal conduct and a general disregard of law by Sonko and others being charged alongside him.

“The accused person placed their own interest above the interests of the people of Nairobi.

The DPP also ordered law enforcement agencies to investigate attempts to hinder the investigation by EACC into the alleged crimes.

“Investigation into these crimes have been challenging because of the repeated attempt by the accused to obstruct the cause of the investigations by deploying investigation tactics in addition to using goons to threaten law enforcement officials carrying out their constitutional mandate.

This comes a day after a bid by the city governor to stop EACC from investigating him over alleged graft hit a snag for the third time on Thursday.

The DPP has at the same time warned Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu and his Samburu counterpart Moses Lenolkulal against opening parallel offices and abide by a ruling by the Senate Deputy Speaker Kindiki Kithure.

This is after Waititu, who faces graft charges, vowed to open parallel offices even as a section of MCAs moved a motion to oust his deputy James Nyoro, who has been acting as governor in his absence, over alleged abuse of office.

Mike Sonko Biography

Mike Mbuvi Sonko or Mike Sonko as he is commonly known is the immediate former Senator of Nairobi County and the current Governor of Nairobi County. He was a Member of Parliament for Makadara Constituency, in Nairobi Kenya. His first stint in parliament was through a by-election in which he floored established political figures such as Ruben Ndolo. He recently became the first senator of Nairobi County after beating his rivals for the seat.

Mike Sonko is known to be generous to the Kenya’s majority poor sponsoring underprivileged children, youth and women. This has made Mike Mbuvi Sonko popular among Kenya’s electorate. He is also known for his unorthodox mode of dressing affiliated with the hip hop community.

Mike Sonko Profile

Mike Sonko’s wealth is traced to Mombasa where he was born and educated. There, his father ran a property and real estate agency, Pelly Properties, which he co-owned with another businessman.

Mike Sonko Mbuvi Education

After completing primary school at Kikowani Primary School in Mombasa, Mbuvi started getting more involved in his father’s business. At the time he was a student at Kwale High School, Kwale County. “My father was a developer and used to sell beach plots at the Coast to European buyers. He made good profits because he bought the plots cheaply.

He said he made Sh5 million working for his father when he was in Form Four in Kwale High in 1991. Despite qualifying to go to university, he decided business was his calling. Instead, he took a course in Business Administration and Management at Excel International School in Mwanza and Pwani Business College.

At the time, his father and business partner split Pelly Properties. Mike Mbuvi’s father started Gidson Properties where the young man, fresh from school, was the sales and marketing manager. Sonko relocated to Nairobi in 1994 where he bought eight matatus, which plied the Kibra route. He bought more matatus, which plied route 42 to Dandora and Umoja. He operated matatus in Dandora and Umoja from 1994 to 1997. “I was also buying and selling plots and residential houses,” says Sonko.

After 1997, he bought minibuses and began operating his matatu business in Buru Buru where his first minibus was christened ‘Ruffcuts’. He later bought two buses, one double-decker, for a tours and travel business.

Because of helping the youth when in trouble with the police, and ensuring the arrest of a senior traffic police officer due to harassment and alleged extortion, among other things, he became the chairman of the Eastlands Matatu Association.

There were more than 5,000 matatus, under him. He gained popularity in 2007 after going to court when Eastlands matatus were denied access to the Central Business District. The Government then decreed that the matatus stop at the Muthurwa market and bus terminus.

Mike Sonko Foundation

Mike Sonko also runs a charitable organisation, which helps needy pupils. He opened a number of youth projects “to empower the youth” in Makadara. He also increased stock for mama mbogas and built them sheds. “But I never spent Sh150 million as claimed. I am not a rich man as alleged. I have given people projects instead of money. I have been doing this even before the campaigns for Makadara,” says Mbuvi. He says his agenda is to eradicate poverty.

His message for the youth is they should work hard to be self-reliant. “I cannot employ all youth but I will register youth Saccos, which will provide loans at low-interest rates. Sonko has had his run-ins with the law. In 1995 he was arrested for assault and was released on bond. When his mother died in 1997 the bond was cancelled and he was arrested and remanded at Shimo la Tewa Prison. He escaped to bury his mother and was rearrested, but the court pardoned him. Is Mbuvi related in anyway to Mwau “No way,” he said.
