Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba has been suspended by the Senate for 79 days after she failed to overturn a resolution made by the Senate on September 20, 2023, to lock her out.
A communication delivered to the house by Senate Deputy Speaker Kathuri Murungi said that Orwoba will cease enjoying all the powers and privileges associated with the position she holds from February 12 to May 1, 2025.
Murungi said the Senate arrived at the decision after considering the judgment delivered by the High Court on January 15, 2025 and the orders given. "Senator Gloria Orwoba shall now forthwith commence her suspension following the Resolution of the Senate of September 20, 2023, to adopt the Report of the Committee of Powers and Privileges on her Conduct," said Murungi.
The decision by the Senate has reduced Orwoba's suspension from the house for six months as it had been ordered one year ago before she moved to court to challenge her suspension where she got temporary orders stopping her suspension until the matter was heard and determined.
