Nairobi; Kenya: This past week has witnessed intrigues in UDF, otherwise known as Musalia Mudavadi’s party. UDF “delegates” purported to expel Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale and others from the party. It is not clear what the accusations against Dr Khalwale are but under the law, expulsion is a remedy only available where a member has infringed the party’s constitution or has acted in a manner contrary to the principles or rules of the party.
It appears to have been lost on Mudavadi and co that the same section of the Political Parties Act they invoked in purporting to expel Khalwale makes it mandatory to afford him a fair opportunity to be heard.
