Wait for ODM Party’s directive on Speaker’s seat, Nyong’o tells Ksm MCAs-elect

Kisumu Governor Prof Peter Anyang Nyong’o has asked the elected Members of the County Assembly to wait for the Orange Democratic Movement Party directive over the election of the Speaker of the County Assembly of Kisumu.

Nyong’o says it has come to their attention that a section of Members of the County Assembly are holding meetings to discuss the forthcoming election of the Speaker of the Assembly.

 

“I wish to advise the Assembly leadership to wait for directives from the ODM Party over the Assembly elections,” Governor Nyong’o says in a press statement.

 Nyong’o says that directive will be issued soon in the same manner in which the six piece voting policy was given and which facilitated the election of all current ODM party MCAs.

“I am shocked to hear that at a time when the whole AZIMIO fraternity is still in deep reflection on the way forward after the tragedy we have gone through, a few selfish individuals have forced the Assembly into a near frenzy campaign mood, using money shamelessly to buy support, which is very embarrassing to the national party leadership,” Nyong’o adds.  

Nyong’o adds: “We are going through difficult times Indiscipline and shameless ambition is not a useful asset for the ODM Party at this point in time in particular.”

The Kisumu Governor has asked all the elected Members of the Assembly to keep off what he has termed as disruptive meetings convened to discuss the Speaker’s position as these could cause discord in the party.

 

Nyong’os sentiment comes barely a few days after it has emerged that a section of Members of the County Assembly of Kisumu who were recently elected have been holding meetings to find a way forward towards the issue of the election of the new County Assembly Speaker for the Third Assembly.

 

Already camps have emerged with some MCAs are supporting former Majority Leader Samson Ong’ow while others supporting the current Speaker Elisha Jack Oraro.
