Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula has endorsed the push to remove Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, alleging that former President Uhuru Kenyatta is covertly funding the Nairobi Senator to destabilise the party from within.

Speaking at a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) sensitisation forum at Shepherd Faith Ministries International Church in Navakholo, Savula claimed there was credible evidence linking Kenyatta to efforts to split ODM at a critical juncture in the country’s political cycle.
