Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba has suffered a major blow after the High Court upheld a decision made by the Senate in September last year to suspend her from participating in parliamentary activities for six months for gross misconduct.

Justice Lawrence Mugambi sitting at the High Court in Nairobi agreed with the decision made by the Senate noting that the Nominated Senator was given a chance to appear before the Powers and Privileges Committee of the Senate to defend herself but failed to do so.
