The Central Committee of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has expelled Uriri Member of Parliament Mark Nyamita from the party......READ THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
In a statement on Wednesday, May 8, ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna said Nyamita was invited by the party to explain his role in the chaos witnessed at a funeral in his constituency on Friday last week but failed to turn up.
Sifuna accused the Uriri MP of being a UDA party agent being used to destabilize the Raila Odinga-led ODM Party.
“Hon Nyamita was invited to today’s meeting but failed to attend. At this stage, the Party wishes to dissociate itself from Hon. Nyamita fully.
We have granted his wish to no longer be part of us and advise our members in Uriri and Migori generally that he is an agent of UDA with the assigned task of sowing confusion and discord within ODM,” read the statement in part.
The ODM Secretary General said Nyamita does not speak for nor represent the ODM Party at any level.
“We advise our members to view and treat him and all those who support him accordingly,” Sifuna stated.
Meanwhile, Sifuna claimed that there is a clear and calculated plan to use state power to destabilize ODM-run counties and constituencies in partnership with some members of the party.
He alleged that some police officers and Provincial administration are being used in an attempt to penetrate the ODM party strongholds.
“The master puppeteer behind these schemes has been identified as none other than the PS for Internal Security Raymond Omollo. The Party condemns in the strongest terms, this blatant abuse of Police and State power to intimidate our people and prop up regime stooges in our strongholds,” Sifuna claimed.
The Nairobi Senator further faulted Education CS Ezekiel Machogu and Tourism CS Alfred Mutua over the issuance of TSC and KWS employment letters by UDA MPs in Kisii County.
The party directed its MPs to summon the two CSs in the National Assembly to explain the hiring policy in TSC and KWS.
“We have also asked members of our Parliamentary Group (PG) to summon the CS for Education and his Tourism and Wildlife counterpart Dr. Alfred Mutua to explain the hiring policy at the TSC, KWS, and other government departments and how Kenyans who do not support UDA can also access employment opportunities,” Sifuna added..CONTINUE READING>>
