Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has been rushed to the Kenyatta National Hospital for medical treatment.
Sonko’s communication director Elkana Jacob confirmed to the Starthat the governor was taken to hospital on Monday at 9:45 pm from the Kamiti Maximum Prison where he was taken after the ruling.
Milimani anti-corruption Magistrate Douglas Ogoti in his ruling on Monday said the governor can be allowed to seek medical attention while in remand.
Sonko’s lawyer Cecil Miller had told the court that the governor needs an urgent chest CT scan and has already been given drugs for pain.
He added that Sonko has possible rib fractures as well after his arrest.
“He needs medical attention with the possibility of admission. Sonko did not assault police officers, instead, he was the one who was assaulted,” Miller said.
