Siaya residents question move to impeach Trade CEC

Siaya Members of County Assembly plan to impeach Trade CEC Grace Agola over alleged incompetence and violation of the Constitution has put them on a collision course with a section of the residents.

The Motion, led by Fredrick Omoro of East Ugenya, has already garnered support from 32 out of 42 members.

However, some MCAs and residents have termed the move as witch-hunt and called on Governor James Orengo to break his silence on the matter. 

“Former CEC for Water Julie Onyango and Deputy Dovernor William Oduol were impeached in the last two years under the Governor’s watch,” said Auscar Wambiya. [Isaiah Gwengi]

He claimed Orengo’s silence as his allies from Alego-Usonga are targeted reeks of complicity.

“To the MCAs, your days of reckoning are near. Come 2027, the wrath of the people will descend upon you,” he said.

Other residents termed Agola’s pending impeachment as a target on female members of the executive.

However, some residents warned against politicizing the matter, saying the accused CEC should carry her own cross.

A five-member select committee has been appointed to investigate the matter within ten days and report to the assembly whether it finds the allegations against the CEC to be substantiated.

The members are Francis Otiato (Yimbo East), Seth Baraka (East Gem), Cynthia Onyango (nominated), Oliver Arika (North Sakwa) and Dorah Abonyo (nominated).
