MCAs vote out Majority Leader

Migori, Kenya: Migori County Assembly Members(MCAs) on Thursday impeached their Leader of Majority over claims of incompetence.

Johnson Owiro was fired and his place taken by North Kamagambo Ward Representative Richard Solo.

Mr Owiro lost his job after MCAs allied to the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) held a meeting and voted him out.

He had been accused of misusing public resources and failure to protect the coalition’s interests in the assembly.

Masaba Ward Representative Abed Maroa said Owiro had failed in his duties as Leader of Majority.

“How can we continue having him (Owiro) in the office yet he does not do what is expected of him in the House?” he posed.

He also accused him of siding with the Opposition to shoot down Motions tabled in the House.
