Anti-Corruption Court Chief Magistrate directed that Sonko be remanded until Wednesday, December 11 when the court will rule on whether to grant him and his co-accused bail.
The Governor and his co-accused will be remanded at the Industrial Area Remand Prison.
This is after the prosecution submitted that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) cells have no capacity to accommodate all the accused persons.
The prosecution led by James Kihara opposed the release of Sonko on bail on grounds that he is a flight risk, is likely to abscond court, intimidate witnesses and interfere with investigations.
The prosecution further sought orders barring Sonko and other public officers from accessing their offices pending hearing and determination of the case.
