Orengo tells Linda Ground to acknowledge his legal groundwork on ODM Party funding


 Siaya Governor Senior Counsel James Orengo has told the Linda Ground Brigade in ODM to acknowledge his legal groundwork on the issue of ODM political Party funding from the National Government.


Orengo says it is indeed in the public domain that he personally initiated the legal proceedings on behalf of ODM to determine the funds owed to the party by the Government.


Orengo says the Kenyan shillings 12.6 billion figure exists today only because of the ruling in the case he filed.


He adds that it is ironical to see the Linda Ground wing of ODM Party now demanding these funds from the President without acknowledging the legal groundwork he laid.


The Siaya Governor who is leading the Linda Mwananchi brigade claims that their counterpart have instead choose to target him with personal attacks.


Orengo’s sentiments comes barely a few days as the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party is demanding the release of over KSh 12 billion (often cited as KSh 12.6 billion) from the National Treasury, claiming these are accumulated, unpaid arrears from the Political Parties Fund.


ODM leadership, including Chairperson and Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, asserts the government owes the party this amount for operational expenses, grassroots mobilization, and party activities.
