Senator  Orwaba moves  to court to stop her suspension

Nominated Senator Gloria Orwaba has moved to court to stop her suspension saying the process was unfair, unjust and unprocedural.

The senator who is currently in the USA for her advocacy work on sanitary towels for school girls said the motion on her suspension was deliberate to deny her response on the floor of the Senate.

She Says she will fight tooth and Nail to have the decision of the house unturned .

Senator Orwoba was suspended from the Senate and Parliament precincts for six months.

This follows the adoption of a report by the Powers and Privileges Committee of the Senate which made the decision to suspend Orwoba after she failed to appear before it to defend herself against charges levelled against her.

The report was tabled for debate on Wednesday with the House, in a majority vote, upholding the decision to suspend her. 

Orwoba faced several counts among them making unsubstantiated allegations that there were instances of pursuit of sexual favours in parliament by posting messages on the senate business Whatsapp group.

She was also accused of making allegations of favoritism and discrimination on the Senate WhatsApp group and during a press conference as well as unsubstantiated reports of corruption in the Senate.
