Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr and his Nairobi counterpart Johnson Sakaja abstained from voting for or against Sonko’s ouster.
The senators voted on each of the four accusations levelled against Sonko which include gross violation of the Constitution and other laws, abuse of office, corruption and gross misconduct.
