Suba South MP John Mbadi has expressed confidence in gathering enough numbers in Migori County Assembly assembly to impeach Governor Okoth Obado who is facing charges of corruption.
Mbadi said ODM has 31 MCAs who should throw their weight behind the motion sponsored by the party.
“We have resolved unequivocally that Obado will have to leave office, and this impeachment motion has the blessing of Raila unlike what others have been saying,” he said.
The ODM chairman spoke at Maranatha grounds in Migori town he was meeting of over 600 delegates, elected, and opinion leaders to drum up support for the motion aiming to impeach Obado.
Migori senator Ochillo Ayacko, Nyatike MP Tom Odege, Rongo MP Paul Abuor, Nominated MP Dennitah Ghati, and Uriri MP Mark Nyamita, and a number of MCAs also attended the meeting.
“The motion is about people of Migori, we have MCAs from other parties and independent ticket who are supporting the motion while we still have ODM MCAs afraid of their own shadows,” Mbadi said.
While Mbadi’s meeting was on, Obado was having special prayers at Lwanda Rapogi church in his village.
Mbadi who comes from Homa Bay county said the impeachment of Migori must succeed then it will roll over to other on ODM governors charged with corruption and barred from the office.
