County assembly kicks out expelled ODM ward reps

"I urge all members to adhere to this decision and maintain the integrity and smooth functioning of our assembly during this period. Further instructions and updates will be communicated as necessary," added the speaker.

The MCAs are among a group of politicians, including five MPs, who have been punished by the party for alleged gross misconduct.

The five MPs expelled from ODM however remained defiant with some of them threatening to appeal the said decision in the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal.

The ODM's National Executive Council, on Monday, resolved to expel Kisumu senator Tom Ojienda and MPs Felix Odiwour (Langata), Caroli Omondi (Suba South), Gideon Ochanda (Bondo), and Elisha Odhiambo (Gem) over alleged gross misconduct.

The expelled MPs and MCAs are among opposition lawmakers who have been selling the Kenya Kwanza agenda despite Azimio's stand that they do not recognise Ruto's presidency.

Others punished are Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris, who was directed to pay a fine of Sh250,000 to the party, Paul Abuor (Rongo) and Mark Nyamita (Uriri) who were reprimanded and fined Sh1 million each to be paid within sixty days.
