Migori County Assembly Speaker Boaz Okoth has been impeached by MCAs.
This follows an impeachment motion filed by Muhuru Ward Representative Hevrone Mahira on Tuesday.
The motion’s sponsor listed mismanagement of the County Assembly, misuse of office, and misconduct as the key grounds for impeaching the Speaker.
After a two-hour debate on the House floor, 42 MCAs out of the 46 ward representatives in attendance voted in favor of the impeachment resolution.
The MCAs who backed the impeachment move claimed that removing the Speaker would restore rationality to the County Assembly.Â
Okoth was one of seven county officials detained on February 3 in connection with the theft of financial documents.
They were released after posting a Sh200,000 surety bail.Â
