Drama !! Drama !!

Drama unfolded at the Kisumu County Assembly after the deputy speaker Pamela Omino was assaulted leading to her hospitalization.

The incident occurred when she tried to force her way into the chambers despite being restrained by some members of the County Assembly

Kisumu County Assembly MCAs unanimously agreed to recognize the position of the deputy speaker Pamela Omino.

Speaking to journalists in the county after a meeting that took the better part of the day, majority leader Samuel Ong’ou said that the meeting was as a result of the meeting that was held on April 18 by the ODM party leader Raila Odinga.

“In today’s meeting we were to agree based on what was discussed on April 18. The meeting had all the 49 members.We have resolved that the substantive office of the clerk and the speaker shall remain closed until the office holder’s cases are determined because of security reasons,”

Said Ong’ou.

He added that, they had also decided to recognise and support Pamela Jossy in the position of deputy speaker of the County Assembly of Kisumu.

He urged the County Assembly members to respect the rule of law as was directed by the ODM party leader Raila Odinga.

“The office of the deputy speaker is adjacent to assembly chambers and from tomorrow she will start operating from that office,” said the majority leader.

However, there is still a stalemate over who is to chair the sessions between the deputy speaker and acting speaker Gabriel Ochieng.
