ODM Party Launch Another Onslaught on Okoth Obado

Embattled Migori governor Okoth Obado’s woes seem to worsen as the days go by. After his stay in remand was extended, the governor now faces the prospect of being impeached after his party ODM, gave directives that the impeachment process is initiated.

Migori County ODM chairman Philip Makabong’o has directed the Migori County MCA’s to impeach the governor who is currently at Industrial Area Remand.

The ODM county boss gave the MCA’s a two week ultimatum to act on the governor’s impeachment failure to which the party will have to come in and find a solution.

Obado is facing two counts of murder at the High Court. He has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend Sharon Otieno and her unborn baby.

The county boss has been missing at the county government offices for over a month since his arrest. This Makabong’o says is one of the reasons why he (Obado) should be impeached.

“The Migori county assembly members are sleeping in class or they don’t understand their legislative obligations!” the ODM chairperson said.

“Kindly deal within two weeks or the party will intervene,” he added.

The ODM party leader Raila Odinga while campaigning for the Migori Senator Ochillo Ayacko said that Obado should carry his own cross.

“So far all indicators are pointing at Obado, let him prove his innocence in court,” Raila said.

Sharon was finally laid to rest last week with her family saying that the belief that they will get justice informed their decision to finally lay her to rest.

“We have seen suspects connected to her murder arraigned in court. We are happy with the investigations so far and believe her killers will pay for their crimes,”  said Sharon’s Dad.

Migori Governor, Okoth Obado and his two aides, Michael Oyamo and Casper obiero are still in police custody in connection to the gruesome murder of the university student. The trio denied the charges in front of Justice Jessy Lessit and are poised to return to court on October 24 for their bail hearing.
