Former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko has been acquitted of money laundering charges by a Nairobi court. The court found insufficient evidence presented by the prosecution to link him to the allegations.

• The acquittal was on count three, related to money laundering.
• Mike Sonko still faces a case to answer concerning allegations of irregular tender issuance, involving a Ksh14 million heavy equipment hiring deal in 2018.
• Sonko maintains his court cases are politically motivated, citing opposition to corruption during his tenure.
