Chaos ensued at the Migori County Assembly offices after MCAs differed over the impeachment motion of Governor Okoth Obado on the morning of Wednesday, September 23. 

In a video seen by Kenyans.co,ke, several MCAs are seen roughing up each other as they shouted inside the assembly.

Other legislators tried to separate the warring parties after Obado's ouster motion was tabled.

Reports alleged that Nominated MCA Mary Ogodo broke her arm during the scuffle.

Further reports claimed that goons interrupted the meeting after a pro-ODM Deputy Speaker was reinstated by the courts. 

ODM Chairman John Mbadi had directed MCAs to discuss the motion on either Wednesday, September 23, or Thursday, September 24. 

However, Governor Okoth Obado claimed that the party had orchestrated a plan to have the voting process interrupted.

Obado alleged that ODM would use the police to cause chaos and tamper with votes. 

"The senator met MCAs and fake party delegates to discuss my ouster. If due process is followed, the impeachment motion will be dead on arrival," Obado stated on Tuesday, September 22. 

He added that ODM further planned to eject the County Speaker Boaz Okoth if the impeachment motion stalled for a third time in three weeks. 

ODM has not yet responded to the status of the impeachment motion. If the session will be cancelled, it will be the third time the MCAs fail to agree on the way forward.
