ODM moves to oust six ‘disloyal’ MPs

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has announced plans to initiate recall processes in six constituencies, citing repeated violations of office holders’ oaths and disregard for the electorate’s wishes. This decisive move comes as part of ODM’s broader response to the escalating political and social crisis in Kenya.

In a press release issued following a Central Committee meeting on July 2, ODM condemned the current administration’s handling of recent protests and their aftermath. The party extended condolences to the families of over 30 young Kenyans killed during demonstrations, which civil society groups attribute to regime actions. “We are acutely aware that many families are in mourning having lost their loved ones, with civil society groups estimating over 30 young Kenyans fell to regime bullets,” the statement read.

ODM’s Central Committee criticized the use of excessive force by police and the arbitrary abductions of protesters, calling for immediate action and accountability from the government. “Our position is that NO ONE HAS TO DIE whilst exercising this right,” emphasized the statement, highlighting the party’s commitment to peaceful protest under Article 37 of the Kenyan Constitution.

The party singled out President William Ruto, accusing him of failing to take responsibility for the violence and unrest. “The head of state himself has tried to distance his regime from these killings, injuries, and abductions, conjuring up theories when everyone can see the blood on his hands,” the statement declared, reflecting the party’s harsh stance against the current administration.

Among the key resolutions from the meeting, ODM announced its intention to initiate recall processes in the constituencies of Gem, Bondo, Navakholo, Kajiado Central, Ikolomani, and Suba South. This action targets officeholders accused of betraying their oaths and the people’s trust. The statement highlighted the betrayal by a few party members who supported the controversial Finance Bill, against the wishes of the populace. “Sadly, a few of our members went against the wishes of the people and sided with the oppressor. We will speak to the consequences shortly,” ODM noted.

ODM reiterated its support for credible austerity measures within the executive and parliament, criticizing these institutions as “citadels of largesse and wastage.” The party also called for the Independent Police Oversight Authority to expedite investigations into incidents of alleged mass murder by police in Githurai and Rongai, following contradictory statements from the President about the death toll.

The press release emphasized the urgency of addressing the youth’s demands, framing it as Kenya’s “last best chance” to avoid further national decline. “We either seize it and swim with it by implementing all their demands, or we ignore it and sink the country altogether,” ODM asserted, urging political leaders to listen to the voices of young Kenyans.
