Migori County Speaker Gordon Ogolla (pictured) has been forced to step aside to pave way for investigations into alleged embezzlement of Sh12 million.

The County Service Board, which he also chairs, was also dissolved with some members of the assembly sent packing as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission commenced investigations.
