Former Raila ally,Eliud Owalo has threatened to quit ODM if opposition leader Raila Odinga imposes his daughter,Rosemary Odinga on Kibera residents.
Owalo has written a long leeter,which we doubt Raila will read, indicating his displeasure with the former Kibera MP’s moves.His letter states:
“RE: SCHEME TO IMPOSE Ms. ROSEMARY ODINGA ON THE PEOPLE OF KIBRA CONSTITUENCY
15th December 2016
To:
Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga,
The Party Leader,
Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party.
Dear Sir,
RE: SCHEME TO IMPOSE Ms. ROSEMARY ODINGA ON THE PEOPLE OF KIBRA CONSTITUENCY
I am perturbed at objectively verifiable reports that there is an elaborate scheme to impose Ms. Rosemary Odinga on the good people of Kibra Constituency as the ODM Parliamentary Candidate for purposes of the 2017 General Elections.
If indeed there are such plans, then with a lot of disdain one is left wondering the rationale behind the recent invitation by the Party for prospective candidates for all elective positions to submit their applications, if the Party nominees for certain positions, including but not limited to Kibra Constituency has already been arbitrarily decided beforehand.
My humble submission is that we stand to lose moral ground to continue religiously advocating for the conduct of impartial elections by the IEBC at the national level as has been the case in the past if our own internal ODM Party primaries are either mismanaged in reality or non-existent in practice.
With all the pre-requisite humility, and based on the catastrophic consequences of botched ODM nominations in the past which are well within your knowledge, my plea to the Party is to accord the People of Kibra constituency and anywhere else for that matter their inalienable democratic right to elect leaders of their choice for all elective positions as per the dictates of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.
It is my hope that the issues I have raised will get adequate attention.
Most Obliged,
Eliud Owalo”
It is believed Raila is for his daughter…blood is thicker than water…and has shown all signs that Owalo is going nowhere even with countless threats.
Where will Owalo go next?!!!!
