Former Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba was on Wednesday morning barred from accessing the Senate chambers during a plenary hearing on the impeachment of Kericho Governor Eric Mutai.

The incident occurred after security officers manning the gates of the parliament buildings stopped the former lawmaker from entering, despite her presenting a court order reinstating her position.

Orwoba's attempts to plead with the officers to let her in proved futile after the security personnel insisted that they had not received instructions to allow her in.

Speaking outside the parliament buildings moments after the tussle, the former legislator expressed frustrations over the denial, accusing the Senate of allegedly contravening the law.
