The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) has nullified the expulsion of former Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), declaring the process unlawful and politically motivated.
In a ruling on Wednesday, August 20, the tribunal chair Desma Nungo with members Theresa Chepkwony and Abdirahman Adan Abdikadir said the party's disciplinary process denied Orwoba a fair hearing and was marred by procedural flaws. "The respondent failed to produce a copy of the proceedings, so the only record is the audio and transcription, which shows that the disciplinary hearing had been suspended due to an interim court order," said Nungo.
She added, "She was not heard, and there was no proper hearing.
This was a political process masquerading as a legal process.
