Governor Okoth Obado's First Action After Returning to Work

Migori Governor Okoth Obado returned to work on Monday since his arrest over the brutal murder of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.

Obado, who reported back to his Migori office which had been inactive since his arrest, held several meetings with his senior officers.

The officers briefed the governor over the performance of their departments during the time he was unavailable.

The embattled governor was accorded a warm reception by his staff and supporters who wished him well as reported by Nation.

The governor, who is serving his second term in office, returned to Migori on Sunday where he made a surprise visit to a local church in the area.

His appearance at the Upper Hill SDA Church shocked the congregation who were not expecting a visit from him.

According to the governor's office, Obado was expected to stay in Nairobi for a few extra days before going back to Migori.

Following the ruling made by the High Court, the governor was forced to move back into the house he had vacated three years ago.

The old home, which has been under the management of the British America Tobacco company, has been used by the governor to hold private daytime meetings due to its proximity to his office.

"We are respecting the conditions imposed by the court although they have brought a lot of inconvenience to us. Mr Obado will now operate from here," stated Obado's aide who sought to remain anonymous.
