Nyando MP Jared Okelo has threatened to resign in two weeks if NASA leader Raila Odinga is not sworn-in as the country's president. Speaking in Nyakach during the burial of veteran radio journalist Agao Patrobas, Okelo stunned mourners when announced his resignation plans. "I went into Parliament not to sit in the Opposition benches but to support President Raila Odinga's policies as he discharges his mandate from state house. I had scanned the environment , followed the polls and was confident of a Raila win," he said on Monday. The first time MP who has served his constituents for less than four months he cannot continue being Nyando MP with Uhuru Kenyatta as the president.
