Amani National Congress (ANC) party officials have announced their plan to hold demonstrations meant to push their leader Musalia Mudavadi to take action against Nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi and Kakamega Senator Cleopha Malala.
According to the officials led by activist Billion Ebole, the two should be expelled for disrespecting Mudavadi, and be thrown out of the party.
"Osotsi is in Parliament courtesy of Mudavadi so it’s surprising that he has turned around to bite the hand that fed him,” Ebole stated.

Issuing the statement, Ebole and Nyongesa claimed that they have been driven to push for the protest following a lack of disciplinary action being taken against the duo.
He announced that the protests would be carried out in Kakamega.
Mr Osotsi was also accused of mismanaging party funds when he was the Secretary-General.
"Osotsi should tell us how Sh60 million disappeared [during his tenure]. He has run away to gang up with our rivals (Jubilee) to avoid being questioned on how the money was misused," noted Harun Nyongesa, another official stated.
Ebole was accompanied by Ezekiel Kibet, Edwin Koech and Brian Kangogo -who is a student leader.
Mr Kibet reiterated:"We have been silent, hoping the two legislators would come back to their senses and stop the nonsense they are engaging in but this has been in vain. We will go out in full force to defend our party leader."
Osotsi and Malala accused Mudavadi of being a coward after he skipped NASA leader Raila Odinga' swearing-in ceremony on January 30.
The two have since been accused of being Jubilee moles, claims they have denied.
Malala was reported dismissing the threats of disciplinary action while Osotsi accused politicians of diverting attention from their absence at Raila's ceremony.
