[PHOTOS] Ex-nominated senator Orwoba denied entry to Senate

Former nominated senator Gloria Orwoba, on Wednesday, August 27, arrived at the Senate entrance in Nairobi but was denied entry by security officers.

Orwoba was carrying documents she said reinstated her, but she could not gain entry.

She had previously been expelled from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and removed from the party register, which automatically led to the loss of her Senate seat.

She was later replaced by Consolata Wakwabubi.

On May 19, UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar announced that the party’s Disciplinary Committee had resolved to remove Orwoba after deliberations on the matter.

Omar said the decision was made in line with Article 29 of the UDA Constitution and was subsequently ratified by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC).
