[Nehemiah Okwembah, Standard]Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has suffered a political blow after more than 300 Pamoja African Alliance (PAA) grassroots mobilisers dumped his political party to join the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). The mobilisers, led by PAA National Executive Council (NEC) member Elizabeth Muthoka, were received by Kilifi Governor Gideon Mung’aro at his official residence on Wednesday. They said they were happy to leave the PAA party as it had nothing meaningful to offer them. Ms Muthoka said that sidelining, mistreatment, and unfulfilled promises at the PAA party are some of the reasons that forced them to ditch it for ODM. ‘’We have a lot of bitterness because the PAA party did not meet our expectations.
