Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), on Tuesday, listed eight legislators among them two MPs and six MCAs facing expulsion from the party.
In a statement by ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, the party firmly stated that party discipline was paramount, ordering all member to adhere to its code of conduct.
"Political Parties are accountable to the office of the Registrar of Political Parties which is the custodian of all political parties. Likewise, party members must at all times adhere to rules, regulations and policies of their respective parties. ODM is not a party that tolerates disorder and unruly behaviour by her members," he stated.
The Disciplinary Committee in its report recommended the expulsion from the party of Aisha Jumwa (MP, Malindi) and Suleiman Dori (Msambweni) for gross misconduct.
Also recommended for expulsion are Dan Ochieng’ Were, Evans Dada Marieba, Julius Odhiambo Gaya, Geoffrey Onyango Juma, Paul Ongoro Wamunga and Joshua Okumu Nyabola (all members of the Homabay County Assembly) following the recent acts of violence, unruly behaviour and disobeying party decisions.
The committee also recommended the expulsion from the party of Hon. Immaculate Joice Adhiambo of the Busia County Assembly.
The National Executive Council of the party adopted the report by the disciplinary committee.
"The NEC shall invite the members recommended for expulsion to appear before it at a special NEC meeting to be held early next year prior to the final decision being taken," the statement revealed.
On the recent reports of a push by Members of Parliament to have their salaries and remunerations increased, the ODM reiterated that all state organs must respect the constitution and leave the matter of setting salaries to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission.
Jumwa and Dori have in the recent past openly expressed their support for Deputy President William Ruto.
