The Orange Democratic Movement party has dewhipped seven Nairobi MCAs as divisions and wrangles deepen in the County Assembly. The Party’s chairman John Mbadi called upon the embattled Minority Whip to take action and remove the MCAs from all assembly committees. The seven include Lower Savannah MCA Nicholas Okumu, who was installed by the rebel group as interim minority whip last week, Kennedy Oyugi of Highrise, Kabiro’s Clarence Munga, and Fredrick Omondi of Kayole Central. Munga and Okode were among three ODM MCAs, together with Sarangombe MCA Lawrence Otieno, who voted with their Jubilee counterparts to remove public accounts committee chairman Wilfred Odalo, an ODM MCA, from the helm of the watchdog committee. Ogada said a section of ODM MCAs on May 3, 2021 broke into the office of the Minority Whip with the intention of destroying public and party property.
