A report by Citizen TV indicated that the judge declined to stop the sittings after two activists, George Bush and Lawrence Oyugi of Concerned Citizens Alliance, made an oral presentation at the court.
Instead, the judge directed the duo to make a formal complaint in connection with the impeachment.
The duo had argued in court that a section of Nairobi MCAs was planning on ejecting the governor from his seat after he was barred from accessing his office.
They were also pursuing to have the case levelled against the county boss, where he is accused of assaulting a police officer, dropped.
“…The status of Sonko is an unconvicted man with equal rights especially that of presumption of innocence until proven guilty was not recognised,” they stated in their petition in part.
A report by K24 TV noted that the judge also ordered the DPP to file a response within 14 days.
They further claimed that Sonko had suffered inhumane conditions during his time in prison and that he was more of a victim than a suspect.
“That inhumane and violent arrest of Sonko has undermined his authority as the governor of Nairobi City County,” they added.
Sonko is scheduled to appear in a Voi court to respond to the assault charges. He was charged in connection with the loss of Ksh357 million from county coffers.
