Court Clears Oloo of Wrongdoing
During the heated court session, Oloo’s legal team argued against the legitimacy of his impeachment, citing procedural flaws and lack of substantive evidence. The defense maintained that the impeachment process was politically motivated and failed to meet constitutional requirements.
After three hours of deliberations, the court ruled in his favor, declaring that the impeachment did not adhere to due process. As a result, Oloo was cleared of all allegations, marking a significant legal win for the former Speaker.
Background of the Impeachment
Oloo was impeached by the Kisumu County Assembly following accusations related to mismanagement of county funds and irregular procurement deals. His removal was part of a broader crackdown on corruption within the county government. However, his legal challenge argued that the assembly failed to follow proper legal procedures, leading to the court’s decision to reinstate his position.
What Next for Oloo?
With the court ruling in his favor, Oloo may now seek reinstatement or compensation for wrongful impeachment. The ruling also raises questions about the county assembly’s handling of leadership disputes and whether further legal action will be taken against those who led the impeachment.
For now, Oloo emerges victorious, but the political and legal ramifications of the case are likely to continue shaping Kisumu’s leadership landscape in the coming months.
