Two Migori MCAs suspended for two months over 'unruly' behaviour

Two members of the Migori County Assembly have been suspended from the House for two months for allegedly breaching the rules and regulations.

Migori County Assembly Speaker Owino Likoa said North Kadem Ward Representative Olima Obonyo and his East Kanyamkago Ward counterpart Norman Ogolla were kicked out for being unruly.

The two however claim the move is because they questioned how the county assembly and the Executive wing are spending public funds.

MCAs Olima and Ogolla claim that the county assembly leadership has opted to frustrate them because of their stand against alleged massive corruption in the House and the county Executive.

The duo alleged that they have documents that reveal how the county assembly and the Executive plundered public funds, and that they’re going to ensure they involve relevant agencies including the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).

Speaker Likoa said the two MCAs became unruly during the Tuesday debate and he had no option but to suspend them from the House activities.

He said the Assembly is guided by rules and therefore any person who violates them must be subjected to the necessary action.

The Speaker further dismissed allegations of corruption at the county assembly, urging the complainants to invite EACC officers to investigate the assembly.
