SIAYA DEPUTY GOVERNOR, ODUOL DEAD?

Besieged Siaya Deputy Governor William Oduol on Monday implored senators to reject impeachment charges against him saying they do not meet ouster threshold.

While making his final appeal through his lawyer Moses Chelanga, the DG disputed the committee report that found him guilty of gross violation of the Constitution and abuse of office and gross misconduct.

“There was a heavy weather about a chair worth Sh1. 12 million. That particular charge was not substantiated,” he said.

Chelanga questioned the integrity of the committee reports, saying that while the panel exonerated the deputy governor of claims of bulldosing county officers to renonvate his office, the panel found him liable of interfering with procurement.

The lawyers claimed that the DG is being sacrificed for political reasons and urged the lawmakers to save him.

“We know who wants the head of William Oduol in a platter. This house should vote in the negative for the impeachment of Deputy governor William Oduol,” he said.

“We should not sacrifice our Constitution for political expediency,” he added
