Migori residents have welcomed the Supreme Court Ruling that reinstated Okoth Obado as Migori Governor.
The Supreme Court judges faulted the Appellate Court for allowing pleadings that were never sought in the trial court.
Kapeeton Kidiga a Kobado supporter welcomed the ruling saying the election of Obado as the Migori County governor was the best decision Migori residents have ever made.
“Obado has started many development projects in various sectors that are aimed at improving the living standards of the residents of Migori,” said Kidiga.
According to Kidiga Obado’s reinstatement will ensure that this projects are successfully implemented.
Obado’s win was nullified by the court of Appeal sitting in Kisumu. He then appealed the ruling at the Supreme Court in Nairobi in April.
