However, suspended Leader of Majority Samuel Ongโ€™ow escaped arrest.

Ms Adul is accused of embezzling funds while chairing the assemblyโ€™s public service board together with Mr Ongโ€™ow, Mr Anayo and Mr Sagwe.

The four leaders are also accused of influencing tendering processes and getting kickbacks from contractors.

Ms Adul is currently fighting an impeachment case filed against her by members of the assembly.

Mr Ongโ€™ow is also awaiting the outcome of an ODM disciplinary committee investigation on his conduct and that of his deputy John Olum over allegations of abuse of office.
