The Supreme Court wishes for a petition against it formed by former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko dismissed, saying the High Court has no jurisdiction to hear it. The court further says the jurisdiction of the High Court was erroneously invoked and thus the petition was not properly before it (High Court).
Mr. Sonko wants a declaration that his rights to a fair trial were infringed in his petition at the Supreme Court and that his political rights were violated by the failure to accord him a fair hearing.
He also wants a financial reward of Sh35 million for the loss of campaign fund contributions and damages amounting to Sh15 million for breaching his right.
Recall, On July 11 2022 the Supreme Court gave dictatorial directions that missed the filing of submissions by the petitioner and also denied Mr. Sonko the right to a rejoinder.
