Rarieda MP Otiende Amolo now claims that Raila Odinga’s humiliating defeat in last month’s elections was the result of a series of blunders committed by dishonest individuals surrounding ODM leader Raila Odinga.
They not only messed up the nominations, causing low morale, but they also had a rosy outlook when things were very different, he said.
Alego Usonga lawmaker Samuel Atandi echoed his sentiments.
Dr. Amolo stated that ODM must retreat and reflect on the loss in order to avoid making the same mistakes again.
“We as the Orange party must go back and ask ourselves where the rains started beating us. There are people who cheated Mr. Odinga till the last minute, we know them and she shall ask them,” Dr. Otiende said.
“When the time for getting positions in the national assembly and nominations for the county assemblies is reached, sadly they are the same people who want to continue with the same trend,” he added.
He also criticized nominations for positions in the Siaya County Assembly.
“In the Siaya County Assembly, where there were 12 nomination slots, the process was skewed to the extent that Rarieda constituency, where I am the legislator, had none allocated,” he said.
“Ideally, each should have two nominees from all the six constituencies. Together with other leaders, we shall fight against this trend.”
