“We just wanted to come out and clarifier specific issue and allegation that has been happening and going round that members of Migori assembly have tried to work head to ensure that the speaker is not in the office which is not true,” said Mwise.

Boaz’s impeachment has been gaining traction after Majority Leader Rolland Asiga resigned, a move seen as throwing cold water into Boaz’s leadership.

Asiga, in his resignation where he was flanked by several MCAs accused Boaz of mismanaging the assembly board.

But Minority leader and Tagare MCA Nicholas Rioba laughed off impeachment drive insisting that Boaz was “fully in charge of the board and he is the board chairperson and he is serving as the speaker of the assembly.”

“For those who are peddling ramous that they have collected signature to impeach Boaz, let them know we already have 40 members in Boaz’s corner,” Rioba said.
