Nairobi Senator Johnstone Sakaja hits out at Governor Mike Sonko over what he terms as inhumane demolition.
Sakaja has now threatened to move to court to compel the court to issue a warrant of arrest against Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko.
Speaking in Embakasi ,the Senator criticized Sonko for demolishing a building in Embakasi despite court issuing orders against the demolition.
“I am giving my own lawyers, tomorrow we are going to get a warrant of arrest against all those county officials that have disobeyed the court order.,” said Sakaja.
Sakaja stated that Sonko is not above the law and therefore he should obey court orders that his seniors are also obeying.
“Nobody in this country is above the law, even president Uhuru Kenyatta obeys the law, Raila Odinga obeys court orders, so Governor Sonko who are you? Who is OCPD, who are you Tito Kilonzi?,” said Sakaja.
Sakaja accused Sonko of forgetting where he came from and frustrating the youth who voted for him.
“How do these people want Nairobi residents to live, you build a kibanda, they demolish, you buy a bodaboda they follow you, the youth are being shot dead, what do these people want?” said Sakaja
Recently Sakaja accused Sonko of being inhumane in the ongoing demolition of structures allegedly erected on road reserves.
Sakaja said demolition of structures in Mutindwa market, Embakasi, and other Eastlands areas were done inhumanely.
Adding that the demolitions are being done without notice to owners, making traders lose their property.
“Governor Sonko must make sure that he conducts the demolitions within the confines of the law, it is very bad for people to lose property which they have worked hard for,” he said.
