Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba has now claimed that she was not suspended from the House by Senate Powers and Privileges committee.
Speaking at Uasin Gishu during the devolution conference held on Wednesday, Orwoba said that she lost her motion but she was not refrained from the House.
"I'm not suspended, that's why I'm here. I know you reported that I'm suspended but no, I'm not," Orwoba claimed.
"There was a motion, it was defeated but I'm not suspended. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here and this is a pre-sit of Parliament. To clear the air, I'm very active and I will continue to fight for the rights of women."
This comes after a senate disciplinary committee chaired by speaker Amason Kingi, suspended the senator on August 10, over alleged gross misconduct.
Orwoba was suspended from the House until February next year.
The panel delivered the harsh punishment after the lawmaker failed to honour its invites and summons to defend herself against damning allegations.
The committee had pressed two charges against Senator Orowba leading to her suspension.
The committee in Charge One (a) the findings of the committee accused the senator of making unsubstantiated allegations that there were instances of pursuit of sexual favours in Parliament.
The Senate committee said the Senator posted various messages regarding the matter on the Senate Business WhatsApp Group on diverse dates.
In count one (b), the committee said the Senator made allegations of favouritism and discrimination.
"Senator Gloria Orwoba, MP, on diverse dates, made unsubstantiated allegations that there was discrimination in Parliament by posting various messages on the Senate," the findings of the committee read in part.
The Senate committee findings also indicated that Orwoba made allegations of kickbacks for legislative agenda in Parliament contrary to the law.
In Charge Two, Orwoba faced allegations of disrespecting fellow senators and imputing proper motives on fellow senators.
The House noted that it will debate the report before taking a vote to decide her fate.
