ODM Cracks Whip on Members who Sympathize with the Corrupt

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has vowed to crack the whip on members sympathizing with senior government officials under investigations over corruption.

Party chairman ODM chairman and National Assembly minority leader John Mbadi, said the party supports the ongoing war against corruption adding that “any member from the opposition who is going to ‘ethnicise’ or ‘tribalise’ the war against corruption will be removed from parliamentary committees.”

Mr Mbadi said the opposition will not tolerate any of its member supporting those implicated in graft scandals.

The ODM leader said the opposition has in the last five years been calling on President Uhuru Kenyatta to use state agencies to fight corruption, but he seemed reluctant.

“Now that he is using them [state agencies] to fight the vice, we should all support him because we would be naive to begin fighting him,” said Mr Mbadi.

Mr Mbadi said politicians who claim the ongoing war on graft is a witch-hunt should give evidence of their claims.

“Some few individuals in the country cannot enrich themselves at the expense of wananchi and then say the war against corruption is witch-hunt,” he said.

    Other ethnic groups who have not been corrupt need to be compensated by the government . They have been marginalized from corruption, hence did not enrich themselves and their communities. The government need to pay them reparation due to exclusion and marginalization for over 50 years. Many of them are landless, poor and lack proper health care, while the others who were involved on epic graft were rewarded with governorship and lucrative tenders .

    COLONIZATION WAS HORRIBLE! HOWEVER, THE RULE BY AFRICAN ELITES WHO ARE ALL SELF SERVING THIEVES AND LOOTERS IS A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH TO BLACK AFRICANS WHO ARE SUFFERING UNDER THEIR HEAVY LOADS.

    THE ELITES ARE ENRICHING THEMSELVES WHILE FOREIGN DEBTS THEY BORROW AND EVENTUALLY STEAL HAVE PILED UP AND BROUGHT NO DEVELOPMENT SINCE 12/12/1963.

    KENYA IS CONTROLLED AND OWNED BY COUNTRIES WHO HAVE ADVANCED LOANS TO IT BECAUSE THESE MOUNTAINS OF DEBTS MUST BE PAID BACK AND THE RESOURCES ARE RUNNING OUT!!!
