The ODM Party has been forced to fire its party vice chairman, Eldas MP Adan Keynan, over his endorsement of President Uhuru Kenyatta and subsequent defection to the Jubilee Party on Monday.
Keynan, who also chairs the Public Investments Committee (PIC) in the National Assembly, will also lose his slot in the powerful committee where he was nominated by ODM.
The Star reported that Keynan will be replaced by Wajir Woman-Representative Fatuma Ibrahim.
“We think Keynan has betrayed the party and therefore has no business remaining a member,” a senior official in the ODM Party stated.
The former Vice Chair of the Orange party was one of the two Wajir ODM MPs who led the Degodia community to the Jubilee Party, saying they can longer continue being in the Opposition.
He was accompanied by Tarbaj MP Mohamed Elmi and 15 Wajir County MCAs led by their Speaker Bishar Omar.
“Your Excellency you know us, we are always clear on our decisions. When we were joining the opposition we declared during the daylight. This is the same thing we are doing here. What we are doing here is building an inclusive County,” Keynan stated.
