Malindi Member of Parliament Aisha Jumwa once again warmly welcomed Deputy President William Ruto to her constituency, despite a show-cause letter from her ODM party's Disciplinary Committee.
In a letter dated September 19, the committee chairman Fred Athuok, said Jumwa, her Msambweni counterpart Suleiman Dori and 10 other lawmakers from Nakuru, Homa Bay and Nyamira counties have also been summoned and should appear before it on October 10.
“The party disciplinary mechanisms will soon kick in and we will inform the public in due time on our next cause of action,” said Athuok.
Jumwa and Dori who publicly declared support for Deputy President William Ruto's 2022 presidential bid, were asked to show-cause why they should not be disciplined for going against the party regulations.
