Speaker ofthe Nairobi City County Assembly has issued writs declaring Korogocho Member of County Assembly seat vacant following the demise of MCA Naftali Owuor Ogola in December last year.
Ogola passed away in December last year after a long illness.
The constitution requires the County Assembly Speaker to provide notice of a vacancy within 21 days.
Nairobi Assembly Speaker Benson Mutura notified the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) of the vacancy.
“The purpose of this letter is to notify the Commission of the said death and the occurrence of vacancy in the Korogocho ward, Nairobi County,” stated Mutura.
Ogola had been elected on an independent ticket.
He served on the sectoral committees for planning and housing, water and sanitation, and early childhood education and vocational training.
“The member will be remembered for his calm demeanor, outgoing personality, and contributions to the County,” Mutura said.
