In a daring and unwavering stand, Edwin Sifuna, the Secretary General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), has unequivocally rebuffed the recent directive handed down by the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT). This directive, which temporarily halted ODM’s move to oust three party members accused of disloyalty, has elicited a robust response from Sifuna and the party he represents.
Sifuna’s reaction is a resounding rejection of the tribunal’s ruling, underscoring ODM’s long-standing history of defying similar pronouncements in the past. He specifically aimed his criticism at PPDT Secretary General Desmond Tutu, raising questions about the reasoning behind the tribunal’s decision and its peculiar timing.
In a recent twist of events, the judicial system has intervened decisively, issuing interim orders that effectively halt the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) from expelling three prominent members: Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda and Members of Parliament Elisha Odhiambo of Gem and Felix ‘Jalang’o’ Odiwuor of Lang’ata.
These orders, delivered by the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal on Tuesday, September 12, are slated to remain in effect until a comprehensive hearing occurs. The tribunal’s decision has thrown the ODM’s suspension of the rebel MPs into a state of uncertainty, leaving supporters and critics eagerly awaiting the final verdict.
