Former Kisumu County Assembly Speaker, Onyango Oloo has been dealt a major blow after an Industrial court upheld his impeachment.

In what could end his career as a Speaker of Kisumu County Assembly, the lawyer with high political connections, became the first speaker whose impeachment has been upheld by the court, since 2013 with Justice Nduma Nderi ruling that his petition lacked merit.
