A section of Nairobi MCAs have hatched a plot to save embattled governor Mike Sonko through a Dubai trip.
According to reports by one of the leading local dailies, 18 MCAs are set to leave for Dubai amid Sonko’s impeachment motion debate.
The date set for the trip is the same date ODM MCAs have called for speaker Beatrice Alachi to convene a special sitting to discuss Nairobi woes.
The 18 MCAs set to leave for Dubai are said to be trying to avoid the special sitting .
The ODM MCAs are said to have given Elachi a seven-day ultimatum to call for the special sitting.
Should the 18 legislators go for their tour, then, there would be no quorum to debate Sonko’s ouster.
Sonko is facing graft charges and has been barred from accessing office until his case is heard and determined.
His Kiambu counterpart Ferdinand Waititu was already ousted, and has written to the senate to demonstrate his ouster, arguing that there was no quorum.
He has also moved to supreme court to fight for his access to the office after Court of Appeal upheld Justice Ngugi’s ruling that barred him from accessing office.
