Steven Oduor asked investigative agencies to step in now. He said claims by the DG Oduol cannot be ignored, if residents have to be served properly.

"We voted for these two to work together, and the claims must now be investigated if we have to move on swiftly. If it is true some monies were embezzled, those found culpable must be arrested. We cannot lag again in the next five years because of corruption and unnecessary fights," said Oduor.

Another resident, William Obat, said the Senate has done residents proud by not implementing the impeachment.

Obat argued that both leaders must work together. "We do not want to hear about these unnecessary fights. The promises made by the two during campaigns, must be implemented," added Obat.

Human rights activist Chris Owalla who works for Community Initiative Action Group blamed the assembly for hurrying with the impeachment report.

He said it is possible residents may not get development services in the next four years. "These fights are now going to increase with a lot of vigour, unfortunately. Where there are fights like these, it is residents that suffer. The marriage has fully collapsed even if Oduol comes back to the office," said Owalla.

MCA Oduor Odongo said Oduol and Orengo's strained relationship must be sorted out by elders. "What happened yesterday is in the public domain. What we saw, is a war between, Azimio la Umoja and Kenya Kwanza. We however want to remind Siaya residents that we were not in any way malicious with our impeachment decision. We only wanted peace. We substantiated all the allegations to get to that point," he said.
