Ex-governador Mike Sonko contesta o fechamento da delegacia de polícia de Capitol Hill

O ex-governador de Nairóbi, Mike Sonko, instruiu seus advogados a protocolar uma petição judicial urgente para bloquear a desativação da delegacia de polícia de Capitol Hill. Ele alerta que a medida comprometeria a segurança em Upper Hill, um importante centro nacional. A ação ocorre após o Ministério do Interior anunciar planos de fechar a delegacia.

O ex-governador de Nairóbi, Mike Sonko, morador de Upper Hill, publicou uma declaração em suas redes sociais no dia 11 de abril, orientando seus advogados a peticionarem urgentemente ao tribunal com base nos artigos 22, 23, 10, 247 e 258 da Constituição do Quênia. "Como morador de Upper Hill... instruí meus advogados... a contestar e bloquear a proposta de desativação da Delegacia de Polícia de Capitol Hill", afirmou Sonko. Ele enfatizou que Upper Hill é um centro nevrálgico nacional crítico, abrigando os tribunais de Milimani, o Gabinete do Diretor de Processos Públicos, o Hospital Nacional Kenyatta, o Hospital de Nairóbi, bancos, a Britam Tower, as KCB Towers e missões diplomáticas, incluindo as embaixadas do Japão e da Tanzânia. O Ministério do Interior anunciou o fechamento como parte de uma reestruturação para aumentar a eficiência do policiamento e redistribuir recursos no Condado de Nairóbi. Os policiais da estação já foram deslocados ou remanejados para outros locais. Sonko citou registros jurídicos críticos na delegacia, incluindo uma entrada no Livro de Ocorrências da qual ele depende em seu processo judicial. Residentes de Kibra, Westlands, Kilimani e Dagoretti deram ao Secretário do Gabinete do Interior, Kipchumba Murkomen, um ultimato de 14 dias para interromper o processo ou enfrentar uma ação judicial.
