Kisumu County Assembly speaker Onyango Oloo’s impeachment has been upheld.
Kisumu court on Tuesday morning ruled that Mr Oloo was impeached legally.
He was ordered to surrender all county property including official motor vehicles.
The MCAs impeached Oloo citing an active corruption investigation at the Lake Basin Development Authority against him
Oloo in September moved to court to challenge his removal from the county assembly.
In an application filed under a Certificate of Urgency, Mr Oloo had sought six orders including stopping the county assembly from implementing a resolution to impeach him.
Oloo wanted the Labour and Employment Court to issue orders reinstating him as speaker pending the hearing and determination of his application.
The county assembly, on the other hand, had also filed a petition seeking to compel Oloo to return county assets in his possession, including a vehicle.
In his suit, Oloo claimed that his impeachment was marked by a series of breaches to the law and he wants the court to overturn the assembly’s decision.
