Ex-Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has been set free by a Kiambu court after leading not guilty to assault charges.
The court freed Sonko on a Sh300,000 bond with surety of a similar amount.
While making the ruling, ,the court noted that the prosecution failed to convince it on why Sonko should be denied bail in the case.
In as much as Sonko has been released by the Kiambu Court, he is not a free man yet as he still has other charges to answer to in a separate court.
