In some wars retaliation is a must, like stripping a man off his powers. This is the pain and troubles that has been giving two politicians sleepless nights.
The embattled Msambweni MP has claimed that he is being harassed by his party for supporting Deputy President William Ruto.
Suleiman Dori has vowed to use all legal mechanisms to defend himself.Mr Dori, who is from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), also asked his fellow legislators from the Coast to support him.“I won’t stop working with the national government for the sake of my constituents,” said Dori.
He also blamed Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho, who supported him in the 2017 parliamentary race, of being behind his woes.Dori and Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa have been recommended for expulsion from ODM for gross misconduct.
The fate of tAisha Jumwa and Suleiman Dori now lies with the party’s National Governing Council after NEC adopted decision to kick them out of the party.
ODM disciplinary committee had last year recommended for expulsion from the party, MPs Aisha Jumwa (Malindi) and Suleiman Dori (Msambweni) for failing to tow party line.
Similar attempts to kick out of the party rebel members have failed in the past because such moves always come close to the elections and were also frustrated by legal suits.
But with almost three and half years to the next general election, there is ample time for the party to exhaust all the legal channels putting the duo at high risk of losing their seats.
