Nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi has rebuked Amani National Congress for his purported expulsion, which could eventually make him lose his seat should the process end up being successful.
In a letter copied to the vocal former Secretary General and the Registrar of Political Parties, ANC party insists that he is no longer it's member and recommends immediate expulsion according to the law.
“The disciplinary committee, at a meeting held at the party headquarters on March 6, 2019, resolved that you should be separated from the party. The decision was tabled before NEC on March 18, 2019, during which session, your expulsion as reached by the disciplinary committee was upheld and ratified,” a letter to Mr Osotsi signed by Mr Barack Muluka, read.
But the firebrand MP has dismissed existence of the meeting in which his fate was purportedly sealed, adding that the party has never invited him to any disciplinary committee for defense according to the law.
He also accused the party of borrowing heavily from ODM, which had dismissed Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa over disciplinary issues. ANC claims that Osotsi misappropriated Sh50 million towards 2017 polls.
“According to my understanding, there was no ANC NEC meeting and if it were, I would have been invited to state my case. If they are basing their so called verdict on the purported recommendations of the disciplinary committee, it is dead on arrival,” Mr Osotsi said.
He continued; “Just because ODM has done it, they think they will do it and get away with it not knowing that the scenarios are different,” he added.
Despite his party leader showing reservations to ODM leader Raila Odinga, Osotsi has openly worked with the Orange party even though he was nominated by Musalia Mudavadi led ANC.
