The Orange Democratic Movement Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has weighed in on the reported 4 billion shillings windfall that the party is set to receive from the registrar of political parties.
Speaking on K24 on Sunday, Mr Sifuna contended that according to a pre-election pact among the National Super Alliance (NASA) parties, which are ODM, Amani National Congress (ANC) and Ford-Kenya, the money to be shared was to be based on the presidential elections.
According to the outspoken secretary general, the registrar of political parties said she would disburse the presidential election money as the election was annulled by the Supreme Court, therefore, ODM was not going to share the money it was going to receive as it would be disbursed based on other elections other than the presidential election.
"Every Kenyan knows that the results of the 2017 elections were annulled by the Supreme Court and the Registrar of Political Parties says that because the presidential election was nullified, she is not going to wire to ODMM the money for the presidential election. We only agreed to share the money for the presidential elections.
"The money we are going to receive is for the MCAs, Women Rep, and Gubernatorial elections. Those monies belong to ODM," said Mr Sifuna.
(Kila mkenya anajua ya kwamba uchaguzi wa urais wa wa 2017 ulibatilishwa na mahakama na yule msajili wa vyama anasema kwa sababu matokeo hayo yalitupwa nje basi hakuna pesa atatuma kwa ODM kulingana na uchaguzi wa urais. Na ni hizo pesa za uchaguzi za urais ndizo tuliskizana tutawez kushare na our partners. Sasa kama registrar hatoi pesa mnataka nitoe wapi. Zile ambao nimepewa za MCAs, Women Rep, za governors, hizo pesa sio zao. Hizo pesa ni za ODM),"
