Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has offered a chilling advice to Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina.
The controversial lawmaker through his official Facebook account told Senator Ledama to stop thinking that Raila Odinga fully owns the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.
According to Moses Kuria, Raila only owns a plot in the Orange party.
“Dear Ledama Ole Kina. Si ulifungua mdomo kuongea juu ya Kedong Ranch ? Do you really value your life ? You think Raila Odinga owns ODM ? He owns a plot in ODM. Do you know who has the mother title for ODM ? Keep to your lane. Say ‘Ashe Oleng’ to me later,” Kuria posted.
Kuria’s advice came after leader of Minority in the Senate James Orengo opposed the election of the Narok senator as the chair of the powerful County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC).
In a letter to the Senate Speaker, Orengo said that he would withdraw the membership of the minority from the committee, until “an appropriate resolution can be made”.
“I express and register dissatisfaction with the conduct and outcome of the elections of the leadership of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee which were purportedly done today. We intend to withdraw our membership from the said committee until an appropriate resolution can be made,” wrote Orengo.
Ole Kina was on Monday May 4 elected to head the county watchdog committee after trouncing Kisii Senator Prof Sam Ongeri who got four votes, against ole Kina’s five.
“County Public Accounts and Investments Committee has elected Narok Senator Ledama ole Kina as chairman with 5 votes against Kisii Senator Sam Ongeri who garnered 4 votes.The committee of nine members were appointed on April 28th. Senator Wamatangi was elected vice chair,” tweeted the Sanate
However, in a rejoinder, Ole Kina said he supported ODM party leader Raila Odinga’s presisdential campaign against all odds and that Orengo’s move is questionable.
He said he will not be threatened by Orengo’s letter to the Senate, and that he is prepared.
Kiambu County Senator Kimani Wamatangi was picked as vice chairperson of PAIC.
Ole Kina gained five votes against his Kisii counterpart Sam Ongeri.
The committee has nine members. Mithika Linturi (Meru), Millicent Omanga (nominated) and Sam Ongeri(Kisii) were retained in the committee.
The new members to the committee are Hargura Godana(Marsabit), Irungu Kangata (Murang’a), Ochillo Ayacko (Migori) and Taita Taveta County senator Johnes Mwaruma.
Following his appointment as deputy chair, Wamatangi said he was honoured to have been elected to the committee and that he will discharge his duties without any fear.
