Don’t kick out party rebels

As we bid goodbye to Homa Bay Senator Gerald Otieno Kajwang’, it is proper to remember what the fallen ODM luminary and icon stood for in matters of party loyalty. Kajwang’ was a firm believer in elected leaders toeing the line of their political party. He was a staunch ODM supporter and extremely loyal to party leader Raila Odinga.

Currently, the Orange party is weathering a storm with several elected leaders accused of being ‘moles’ and disloyal. The so-called rebels include MPs Dalmas Otieno, Ken Obura, Samuel Arama, Augostino Neto and Women Representative Zainab Chidzuga.
