We Are Waiting For ODM Official Communication On Sh1m Fine Before Political Decision- Nyamita, Abuor

By MN Reporter

Two opposition rebel legislators are musing over their next political move after the Orange Democratic Movement party fined them over dalliance with government.

Uriri MP Mark Nyamita and his Rongo counterpart Paul Abuor have said they will only comment on the party decision to discipline them on working with government after receiving official communication.

“I am yet to get official communication over the disciplinary action, once I receive it I will discuss with my people and comment on my next step,” Nyamita said.

The legislator downplayed the decision saying on the communication he will know how the party arrived at the decision.

Abuor also said the same after contacted by part of the county press.

By Thursday, Abuor was said to have been preparing his local supporters to issue a statement over the party decision.

On Wednesday the Orange Democratic Movement party fined Uriri MP Mark Nyamita and his Rongo counterpart Paul Abuor Sh1million each for working with President William Ruto and supporting the finance bill.

The two are among other rebel elected leaders from the party who also faced allegations of violation of Article 11 (1) (e) of the party constitution and section 14A of the Political Parties Act 2011 by openly associating with and supporting activities of a rival political party and opposed lawful decisions/resolutions made by the party organs.

ODM in a statement said the two legislators should “offer written apology to the party within seven days. The two will be required to pay a fine of Ksh. 1 million each within sixty days.”

The party expelled Hon. Elisha Ochieng’ Odhiambo (Gem), Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South), Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo), Hon. Tom Ojienda (Senator of Kisumu County) and Hon. Phelix Odiwuor Kodhe (Lang’ata) from the party.
