Despite the court order, Sonko has vowed to continue his video leaks saying that it is his way of combating graft.

“Kenya is bigger than everybody else, we have to fix this country; the Judiciary, people need to know what is happening, “ he said.

“Fighting cartels has always been in my blood. I am just fighting justice for over 40 plus million Kenyans, “ Sonko added.
