The High Court in Nairobi will deliver sentencing on November 27 for former Migori Governor Okoth Obado and two co-convicts, following their conviction for the murder of university student Sharon Otieno.

The sentencing comes after the court's annual recess, with Justice Cecilia Githua setting the date after hearing mitigation submissions.
Obado, along with personal assistant Michael Juma Oyamo and county official Caspal Ojwang Obiero, were convicted on July 23.
Sharon Otieno's family presented a victim impact statement detailing nearly eight years of emotional and financial strain, estimating over Sh4.7 million in expenses, though her parents have appealed for leniency for Obado.
