On Wednesday this week, two more prominent Kenyans had charges against them in court either withdrawn or dismissed.
Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko was acquitted by a magistrate for lack of evidence in a case where he was accused of defrauding the county government during his short tenure between 2018 and 2020.
