The sacking further fuels the already heightened tension between county officers in Prof Nyong’o’s government.
The governor cited breach of the Constitution as the reason for his action.
In 2015, Mr Ouya shot in the air at a funeral in Koru forcing mourners to scamper for safety.
Kisumu Governor Peter Anyang' Nyong'o has sacked his Chief of Staff Patrick Lumumba Ouya following incidents of violence against colleagues.
In a letter, Mr Nyong’o instructed the sacked official to immediately hand in all county property and equipment in his possession to County Secretary Olang’o Onudi.
