Mr Kephas was suspended in August 2018 after being charged in an anticorruption court.
One month later, an activist from Homa Bay went to court seeking to have him reinstated.
Mr Kephas has since been in court and avoiding arrests as he seeks to find his way back to the assembly.
Suspended Homa Bay County Assembly Clerk Bob Kephas has suffered a blow after the High Court threw out his application seeking to be reinstated.
The suspended clerk, through an activist, moved to court to seek stay orders after he was accused of misappropriating Sh27.8 million in the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 financial years.
