Three Kisumu County Members of County Assembly (MCA’s) have been suspended for 14 and 21 sittings.
The three are Kondele ward MCA Joachim Oketch famously known as Swagga, Nyalenda A MCA Jackton Ogendo and his Nyalenda B counterpart Joseph Olale.
The leaders are accused of using un-parliamentary language against some of their colleagues during an un-official sitting on Monday.
They are further accused of behaving in a grossly disorderly manner.
Kisumu County Assembly Speaker George Onyango Oloo ruled that Joseph Olale will miss 14 sittings, while Joseph Ogendo and Joachim Oketch Swagga were suspended for a period of 21 days each.
“Mr. Jackton Ogendo Ojwang, Mr. Joachim Omieno Oketch and Mr. Joseph Olale violated the laws governing proper conduct of the assembly matters. They refused, declined and persisted in their violation of the standing orders of this assembly,” said the Speaker.
The Speaker said that Mr. Ogendo and Mr. Oketch received the 21 days suspension, because they had broken the Assembly’s rules more than once in the same sitting.
“As for Jackton Ogendo Ojwang and Joachim Oketch, this being the second such misbehavior within the same sitting, I do suspend them from the assembly for a maximum of 21 days each. And so ordered accordingly,” ruled the speaker.
