Kisumu Senator Professor Tom Ojienda has dismissed Azimio La Umoja rallies terming them a waste of time. He further said that he will continue working with President Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza regime.
The lawmaker has been missing in Azimio anti government rallies and he opposes them saying that they will derail development.
Professor Ojienda was part of the team that visited President Ruto at Statehouse and pledged to work with him. Since then he has been seen to be working with ICT Cabinet Secretary Eliud Owalo.
“I recognise the government and we will continue engaging the national government for the sake of developing our region,” he said during a political meeting at Kogola Primary school in Nyakach Sub-County on Saturday.
The senator who was elected on Raila’s ODM ticket, defended his move to work with the government saying that the close working relationship will see the region gain through development initiatives.
“We will launch a water project at Kogola Primary School next week as we look forward to fulfilling other challenges facing education, health and security sectors,” he said.
North Nyakach MCA Tom Nyaoke said that they are not bothered by being de-whipped as he called on Senator Ojienda to continue working with the national government.
ODM’s Kisumu County Assembly leadership discharged from office the 11 members who were serving in more than two committees
“We found that the 11 are not loyal to our party and its leadership and therefore went against our constitution by promoting other party ideals. We resolved to follow our standing orders and discharged them from other committees,” said Assembly Majority Leader Ken Oluoch.
