Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is threatening legal action against The Standard newspaper over a headline linking him to corruption. He claims the August 14 front-page story, titled "Devolved Corruption... 12 Years Later," is malicious and tarnishes his reputation without factual basis or conviction.

• Sonko was pictured with other ex-governors who faced corruption charges, including Ferdinand Waititu, Okoth Obado, and Moses Lemonkulal.
• He states he has never been convicted of corruption, despite facing two graft cases: an acquitted Ksh357 million case and an ongoing Ksh20 million case.
• Sonko accuses The Standard Group of poor journalism and alleges they owe current and former employees millions in unpaid salaries and unremitted deductions like PAYE, NSSF, and NHIF.
