Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jr has accused ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna of rushing to respond to issues that are beyond his post.
In yet another scathing attack to Sifuna, Mr Kilonzo asked him to go slow on serious matters pertaining National Super Alliance that is on brink of collapsing.
The Wiper Vice-Chairman said Nasa has structures led by co-chairs, and accused Mr Sifuna of always “out of turn all the time and on matters above his position as secretary-general”.
NASA alliance was used by Mr Odinga in 2017 during presidential race. The coalition has been struggling to stick together lately.
Wiper Secretary-General Judith Sijeny dared Mr Sifuna to make a formal communication on the plot to dissolve Nasa. She argued that his sentiments were not a true reflection of coalition leader, Raila Odinga.
“They are those things Sifuna vomits during campaigns,” she said.
Sifuna, a close ally of Raila Odinga, had on Tuesday said that NASA collapsed and that the ODM party is plotting to form new alliances ahead of 2022 polls.
"Nasa died a long time ago.” Declaring that he has Mr Odinga’s blessings in pushing for the dissolution of the coalition, Mr Sifuna said: “We now want to formalise it and perform the final rites. Fresh coalitions will emerge from the Kibra election, whatever the result.”
Mr Sifuna, who in the past has said that ODM will not walk on its knees to resemble their shorter partners, pointed out that the shape and form of their new relationships will be known in future. He added that they cannot work with people who undermine them.
“We want to formalise this divorce instead of them always undermining us and pretending to be our friends,” said Mr Sifuna in the wake of Nasa feud over fielding of candidates in Kibra.
ODM party is currently working closely with President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee wing. The party won Sh4 billion in court, which could be at the center of the latest outbursts.
