The Orange Democratic Movement Party (ODM) says it has endorsed a plan to impeach Migori Governor Okoth Obado, who is facing corruption charges in court.
“Due to corruption charges levelled against Governor Okoth Obado and the decision by the court to bar him from accessing his office, the party in consultations with County MCAs has resolved to have a motion of impeachment against the governor initiated immediately and have the Deputy Governor [Nelson Mahanga] take over,” ODM tweeted on Tuesday evening (September 1).
Obado, his four children and cronies are accused of embezzling Ksh73.5 million belonging to the taxpayer.
Thirty seven of the 41 ODM MCAs from Migori County on Tuesday attended the party’s meeting, which resolved to remove Obado from office.
