Twenty-two (22) out of the Thirty-four (34) Members of the Nyamira County assembly (MCAs) have expressed concerns following the High court ruling, upholding the impeachment of Assembly speaker Enock Okero and declaring all actions undertaken by him thereafter as unlawful.
In his ruling at the Bomet High Court on Wednesday, High court Judge Justice Julius Kipkosgei said Okero had ceased to hold the office of Speaker of the Nyamira County Assembly upon his impeachment in October 2024 and that his continued assumption of the office was without legal basis.
Speaking in a Kisii hotel after the ruling, the MCAs swore to stay put and accused the court of being biased in its ruling.
Nyambega Gisesa, Rigoma ward MCA and majority leader, expressed dismay over the outcome, saying the court did not consider the merits of other matters pending before it.
