The woman whose name is withheld stated that she was promised Ksh1million to tarnish Sonko's name.
In her court papers, the woman says she had received Ksh240,000 from Mombasa to tarnish the former governor's name.
"I was approached by two ladies from Mombasa County namely Zuhura and Latifa who promised me a sum of Ksh1million to trash the name of the defendant (Sonko) who was then seeking nomination to contest for the position of Governor Mombasa County by filling the case, " the woman stated.
" I confirm l have been paid Ksh240,000 in cash by the said two ladies."
Earlier on May 12th, 2021 the woman had filed a court application asking the judge to order Sonko to pay Ksh448,450 per month for the care of their 15-year-old daughter.
The woman asked the court to force him to pay a monthly maintenance payment of more than Ksh400,000 so that she could provide for the girl's needs.
She also requested Sonko to be ordered to pay the girl's school expenditures, which totaled Ksh86,000, as well as Ksh30,450 for uniform costs, medical coverage, and maintenance while the case was being decided.
She also requested that Sonko be compelled to pay the remaining sum of Ksh37,000 in school fees.
The lady said in her court case that Sonko had disregarded his parental duty to care for their child.
