Speaking in a media briefing at parliamentary buildings,West Mugirango Member of Parliament Vincent Mogaka said that the move by ODM senators was in bad taste and flouts the spirit of the NASA coalition.
“We as ForKenya we condemn the unilateral decision by a section of ODM senators to vote out Moses Wetangula as the minority senate leader.”Mogaka said
The legislators vowed to reconsider their position in staying with the ODM party which they indicate that has been violating the coalition’s agreement.
“Going forward us in Ford Kenya we will strongly reconsider us being our union with the so called ODM,” Mogaka said.
The MPs accused the party of being insincere following the fact that the other parties which include Ford Kenya, Wiper and Amani National Congress have been backing Raila Odinga for presidential bids in 2013 and 2017 general elections.
