The Orange party on Wednesday expelled five members including Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda and Lang'ata MP Phelix Odiwuor for going against the party's position and engaging in gross misconduct.
This comes after eight rebel ODM MPs were summoned by the party's disciplinary committee in July for supporting a rival political party and contradicting the party's stance. Two of the MPs who appeared before the committee and explained their actions were reprimanded and fined Sh1 million each while Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris was fined Sh250,000 for supporting the Finance Bill 2023. The Orange Democratic Movement party has also recommended the revocation of nomination for four Kisumu MCAs due to gross misconduct.
Caroline Opar, Kennedy Ajwang', Peter Obaso, and Regina Kizito are the members of the ODM party who face disciplinary action from the National Executive Committee (NEC) led by Party Leader Raila Odinga. The disciplinary committee meeting is being held almost a month after the accused members appeared before the Sihanya-led committee to defend themselves against accusations of gross misconduct. As per the ODM constitution, the disciplinary process may result in a member being reprimanded, censured, or fined.
In June, Nairobi Women Representative asserted her loyalty to Azimio despite disobeying ODM leader Raila Odinga's instructions by voting for the Finance Bill 2023. Speaking after the 2023 and 2024 budget was read, Passaris protected her standpoint by affirming that she is committed to serving all Kenyans irrespective of their political affiliations. Passaris voted for the contentious finance Bill in contradiction to the opposition's stance.

This is a passing cloud and surely they will be back. It's all about blind Raila worship and the sooner he leaves the better will it be, for both the country and the luo nation.
Demokrasia na mambo ya dini za kigeni ni mifumo miwili mibaya sana tuliyokopa kutoka kwa serikali dhalimu ya ukoloni.
Mifumo hii miwili ndiyo itakayoliangamiza Bara la COHO hivi karibuni kwenye siku za usoni.
Inatubidi Kufikiri Kwa Kina na kutumia akili tuliyopewa na MUUMBAJI MKUU na kubuni mifumo mipya itakayotekeleza mahitaji na matakwa yetu kwa manufaa ya umma.
🤣😍🤣 I remember when
one Magerere from Kipkwelion in Kericho who was the Sec. Gen of ODM was hounded juu juu with suruali yake like the way Kenya police haul criminals our of an ODM meeting by 'men in black' with Raila watching as if nothing is happening..everything revolves around Raila in his party.Thanks God he is always ' rigged out'
ODM iko na wenyewe, ama no mwenyewe.
😁💕😁 I would think that one supports a political rival party when it aligns with ones ideals,and or ideology.So those who were kicked out might as well join the opposition party.
Fining someone does not make them change their minds on opinions.That's why muslims kill apostates...Anyway Where is the free exchange of ideas without facing the wrath,as democracy calls for?
And yes Iam mindfull that when one join's a party, they pledge allegiance to the party,and its tenets,and ideology.But that could change as one garners new information,or indocrination. Nobody should be punished for leaving a party they joined willingly. They need re-indocrination.
Behemoth Rao must be expelled for good from Odm. He's a perpetual nuisance
Very nice! Expel all the traitors!
The beginning of the end for ODM.
