Migori Governor Okoth Obado.
What you need to know:
- ODM said on Twitter that the deputy governor of Migori will have to take over because the governor is not only fighting corruption claims but that he has been barred from accessing his office.
The ODM party has resolved to have Migori Governor Okoth Obado impeached over graft claims.
Party chairman John Mbadi told the Nation that a total of 37 out of the 41 ODM ward reps, who attended a consultative meeting in Nairobi, agreed to have the governor removed from office.
Four ODM MCAs could not attend the meeting, Mr Mbadi said.
On Monday, Chief Magistrate Lawrence Mugambi of the Milimani Anti-corruption Court freed Obado on Sh8.7 million cash bail or an alternative Sh20 million bond and prohibited him from travelling outside the country.
Following the developments, ODM, which has a majority in the Migori County Assembly, invited its members for an urgent “consultative meeting” in Nairobi Tuesday.
ODM said on Twitter that the deputy governor of Migori will have to take over because the governor is not only fighting corruption claims but that he has been barred from accessing his office.
Mr Obado is also on trial for the murder of former Rongo University girlfriend Sharon Otieno and her unborn son.
