Migori County Assembly Speaker Boaz Okoth has been arrested.
Okoth was apprehended by detectives in Nairobi in a case related to the chaos that ensued in the assembly on Wednesday, September 23.
He was forced to defer Governor Okoth Obado’s impeachment motion after he was arrested.
A female MCA’s arm was broken after goons reportedly stormed into the assembly and interfered with the motion seeking to eject Obado as Governor.
Okoth had earlier on lamented that he feared for his life and accused ODM of orchestrating attacks on him and his family.
“I was attacked in the presence of ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna. The person who attacked my bodyguard was his brother. I am not sure why they attacked me. I think they thought I was with some MCAs at the hotel. My life is in danger,” he stated.
The motion to oust Obado failed to kick-off for the fourth time after seven MCAs were also arrested over the chaos.
The legislators were, however, released on Ksh30,000 cash bail each after pleading not guilty to charges mentioned.

We had seen scuffles inside the National Assembly before and no one was arrested. ODM lacks modern thinkers Who could have successfully navigated them out of this. Raila has the toughest war of defeating Ruto which should be the main task. He must leave these small in-house wars and ensure that his troops are only focused on one target; pushing him to presidency. You know, Obado sucked them into his sagas and instead of leaving it all to justice system, they swallowed the bait. Now they don’t know what to do. Chairman Mbadi was with Obado at Chunge a week ago and was smiling on his way to suba . Who knows, he have just benefited from some fat brown envelope. A much needed relief for his own campaigns for HB governorship against peoples favourite Hon. Gladys Wanga.
Baba. Baba . Leave Obado Alone if you need to win in Migori. You are giving Ruto more votes with your party’s actions.
