Chaos have rocked Migori County ahead of the tabling an impeachment motion against embattled Governor Okoth Obado.
According to the Star, Nominated MCA Mary Ogodo was assaulted and her left arm broken as the assembly descended into chaos over the planned ouster.
The ugly scenes forced the sergeant-at-arms to run away with the mace, the symbol of power in the assembly, as they left members assaulting each other physically, verbally with bottles of water being thrown around.
Ogodo was rushed to St Joseph Mission Hospital.
Tension started during the morning session as North Kanyamkago MCA George Omamba got orders from Migori High Court reinstating him as Deputy Speaker on Tuesday evening.

Omamba was impeached by his colleagues on May last year together with assembly clerk Tom Opere, with Bukira East MCA Mathews Chacha and Emmanuel Abala taking over in acting capacity amid court orders.
On Wednesday, trouble started as five pro-Obado MCAs led by Kaler MCA Thomas Akungo walked into the house which was in session and tried to disrupt the session as Omamba was still on the chair.
