It will be hard for Orengo and Oduol to work together, says Oburu

The senator, who was speaking during a talk show on a local vernacular radio station, said he had predicted the outcome of the Monday events at the Senate.

"It is not a surprise that the deputy governor relied on the Kenya Kwanza senators to get him off the hook," said Oburu.

Oburu, who added that the decision to impeach Oduol was the county assembly's, and not the ODM party's, accused Oduol of working with opponents.

"Governor Orengo has been a great critic of the Kenya Kwanza regime and seeing the senators from the ruling party voting to save the deputy governor was only meant to embarrass the governor," said Oburu.

Even though Oduol has indicated that he is ready to reconcile with his boss through the intervention of elders, church leaders and local leaders, Oburu recalled how he warned Orengo against picking Oduol as his deputy.

While recalling the happenings of the 2013 elections, Oburu who contested the Siaya gubernatorial seat, said Oduol declined to be his running mate.

"We both vied for the governor's seat and lost," said Oburu adding that despite talking to Oduol to have the issues of alleged corruption in the county addressed through local mechanisms, the deputy governor went ahead to fight the government and his boss in public.
