Talks between Aisha Jumwa and Uhuru Kenyatta to prevail on ODM supremo Raila Odinga to rescind the party’s earlier decision to expel the legislator seems to have hit a snag.
The most populous party’s Secretary General, Lawyer Edwin Sifuna now says the party has began the process of getting ready for Malindi constituency by-election.
Speaking on Sunday in Ganze Constituency, Kilifi County, Sifuna indicated that the move to ouster Jumwa from her parliamentary seat was a matter of time as preparations were already in high gear.
“If you want to know the seriousness of the matter, as ODM Secretary-General, I have already procured the material from suppliers to conduct the party nominations.
“In the past, we as ODM Party have suffered due to our failure to correct the wayward and take disciplinary action,” Sifuna stated.
“I am a lawyer by profession and I want to assure you that the Malindi by-election is on the way,” Sifuna quipped.
Malindi seat will be back to ODM
He further to assure the party supporters in Malindi and Kilifi that the candidate who will be fronted from the ODM nominations will bag the parliamentary seat.
Sifuna went ahead to indicate that ODM will use all means possible to eject Deputy President William Rutofrom office.
“I want to confirm it today, the process of separating Ruto from public resources is an urgent matter and every option must be on the table.
“Every option including forcing him to resign, or a possible impeachment, or a public arrest and private prosecution by the citizens of this country,” Sifuna added.
