What you need to know:

  • Following the developments, ODM, which has a majority in the assembly, invited its members for an urgent “consultative meeting” in Nairobi today.
  • Multiple sources confirmed the possibility of initiating an impeachment motion against Mr Obado who is also on trial for the murder of former Rongo University girlfriend Sharon Otieno and her unborn son.
  • Migori Senator Ochillo Ayacko told the Nation that the indictment of Obado was “a serious issue” that needs “intense engagement.”

More trouble awaits Migori Governor Okoth Obado with reports of a planned motion to impeach him in the assembly following his prosecution on claims of looting county coffers.

On the day the governor was barred by a court from accessing his office pending the conclusion of a corruption trial, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) summoned Migori MCAs for a meeting today with sources suggesting an impeachment motion could feature at the talks.
