The Lawyer Representing Kericho County Assembly got it rough during the impeachment motion against Kericho County governor His Excellency Eric Mutai.
Governor Mutai was impeached a few days ago by the county assembly of Kericho for allegedly looting public resources. He was accused of taking almost eighty five million Kenya shillings In tenders.
He allegedly oversaw the purchase of things with an exaggerated budget. One of the things is renovations of public servants houses with about 2.5 million shillings Budget.
Matai is also accused of undermining County assembly members. He allegedly threatened some members of his team for allegedly refusing to send money to him. Something that he denied.
Well, lawyer Elisha Ongoya, the lead attorney of the county assembly faced it rough during the Senate hearing of the case leaving him frustrated and asking help from the speaker.

During the cross-examination of the nominated MCA Hon. Anita. Advocate Ongoya demands to know if she was at the assembly during impeachment and if she had her phone on that day. In her response, she claimed to have had only her phone for only 3 hours and it went off.
She also refused to respond to the question if she logged into the system and pressed the abstinence button to allow the house not to count her vote on the impeachment of governor Mutai.
In her response, she claimed there was no button to press since she system was not available to her. This response made advocate Ongoya to request for the intervention from the speaker on her behavior. Something that she continued being defiant even after speakers directives.
“Mr. Speaker, this witness is now bordering on rudeness and not just being hostile. I have been very polite to all witnesses because it’s my professional duty to be. I deserve respect. She is disrespectful.” Protested Lawyer Elisha Ongoya.
