Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyonka maintains that he has never been a member of Jubilee Party and that he has been supporting ODM activities since 2007.
Onyonka is at loggerheads with ODM top officials from Kisii County who have labeled him a ‘watermelon’ after withdrawing his support from Jubilee despite supporting the president.
In his Facebook post, Onyonka who accompanied party leader Raila Odinga to Luanda insists that he was a loyal member of ODM party.
“Loyalty can only be ascertained through somebody’s contribution to the party. I have been supporting ODM activities even when I was not elected on the ticket in 2007 and Odinga knows that,” he said.
‘I gave a reason why I thought supporting Kenyatta would change lives of my people but it failed. I am a life member of ODM and those who think I am a coward should face me in nominations,” said the second term MP.
Nominated Senator Janet Ong’era had openly accused Onyonka of double standards and vowed to lock him out of the party.
