Two members of the Kisumu County Assembly now risk losing their seats after failing to attend more than eight consecutive plenary sittings.

The County Assembly Speaker Elisha Oraro has written to Masogo Nyangoma MCA Habil Nyasuna and Nominated MCA Kennedy Ajwang to show cause why they should not lose their seats.

In the letter, the Speaker stated that the duo had been absent from the Assembly without any written permission as required.

The MCAs have been given up until the 1st of June to show cause why their seats should not be declared vacant as per Article 194 (1) 6 of the Constitution of Kenya.

In the letter dated May 24, 2023, the Speaker wants the MCAs to offer a satisfactory explanation for their absence or risk losing their seats.

The Kisumu County assembly sits thrice every week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for ordinary plenary sessions where House businesses are transacted.
