Embattled former ODM Director of Political Affairs and Strategy Wafula Buke has dismissed plans to ditch the Orange party, days after his sacking.
A fortnight ago, Buke was relieved off his duties, with the ODM party failing to give explanations for the drastic actions against one of the founding members.
On Tuesday, Buke insisted that the Raila Odinga-led party is very corrupt, adding that his spirit to fight for reforms will not be deterred.
Further, he said, his support for Mr Odinga is unquestionable, adding that the veteran leader has been consistent all through in his quest for good governance.
Friends and enemies, read this book: A life too Short. Biography of Chris Hani. ANC sentenced Hani to death for criticising its leaders. Joe Slovo saved him. He stuck with the party and became the next most popular leader after Mandela. Raila Odinga remains the best in our liberation family. Consistency not sycophancy!" he said.
The celebrated multiparty democracy crusader also said that he has no plans to work with rivals, arguing that such a move will soil his reputation as a Marxist.
"Since I was sacked by the corrupt in ODM, I have received calls from all parties inviting me to teas. One told me "buke you are getting old, you need a home in Nairobi. My boss has told me that he will sought you out on your first meeting. Bla bla" same things we heard in the 90s by KANU men."
After his dismissal, Buke pointed fingers at National Elections Board chair Judith Pareno, Executive Director Oduor Ong'wen and Secretary General Edwin Sifuna. He accused the of plotting his ouster.
In April this year, Mr Buke was allegedly abandoned by an election observers group after he attended a political rally organised by leftist politician Julius Malema.
Claims of bribery in ODM are not stranger. This week, a local publication claimed that Raila opted to refund money paid by Kibra by-election losers after it emerged that some officials bangled the polls.
