Otiende Amollo, a member of Parliament from Rarieda, has denied sending an insulting text message to ODM party leader Raila Odinga.
This came after Otiende Amolo was ejected from the Justice Legal and Affairs Committee (JLAC) on Wednesday, May 5th.
He dismissed the allegations made by ODM party Chairman John Mbadi, saying he frequently communicates with his party leader, and has not been in bad blood with him.
“The day my party leader talks of any specific text is the day I will need to answer but how any third party can begin talking about communication between me and my party leader who is my client I do not understand,” Otiende Amolo said during an early morning talk show.
He added that the party chairman would have raised it as an issue during the motion that saw him kicked out of the key committee.
“And certainly if it (text message) was the issue then it would have been the issue when John Mbadi moved the motion,” he said.
Why Otiende Amollo has not been pushing BBI
After James Orengo and Hon. Omogeni disagreed with the BBI on addition of 70 constituencies, Otiende Amollo backed them up.
The duo, who are a long-time supporters of ODM chief Raila Odinga, have also demanded that the draft be amended before it is passed.
Junet Mohammed, the Suna East MP who is also the co-chair of the BBI secretariat, accused Orengo of trying to disown a paper he and National Assembly Majority Leader Amos Kimunya helped draft.
