Tension gripped the Homa Bay County Assembly as a planned ouster of Majority Leader Richard Ogindo led to a dramatic confrontation, with factions clashing physically at the assembly gates on Tuesday.
The crisis unfolded when a group of MCAs advocating for Ogindo's removal were denied entry, leading to a "push-and-pull" battle with those supporting his leadership.
The situation escalated with the intervention of a group of youth, forcing the excluded MCAs to retreat.
Addressing journalists later in Kendu Bay Town, the pro-impeachment MCAs, led by Jeff Ongoro (Kanyaluo Ward), condemned the incident as an attempt to gag them.
