Nominated Senator Gloria has been suspended from Parliament activities, for six months following the high court decision to side with the senate..
High Court judge Lawrence Mugambi agreed with the Senate’s decision, citing that the senator was given a chance to appear before the Powers and Privileges Committee to defend herself but did not show up.

In dismissing Orwoba’s petition, Mugambi ruled out any infringement on the senator’s right to fair and administrative action as required by law.
During the suspension, she will be locked out from all privileges associated with being a Member of Parliament, she will not draw any committee allowances, mileage as well as any other activity of the house.
The Committee report tabled on August 10, recommended Orwoba’s suspension for failing to appear before it to substantiate claims she made against her colleagues on corruption and sexual harassment.
The committee therefore recommended that Orwoba be discharged from the House for the remainder of the second session of the 13th Parliament.
The senator’s allegations on social media depicted that a senior Senate official had resorted to harassing her after she declined his sexual advances.
Orwoba further claimed some of her colleagues were corruptly earning per diems in exchange for sexual favours and for their legislative agenda to sail through.
