Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) director of communications Philip Etale has attacked NASA co-principals to Raila Odinga specifically Mr. Musalia Mudavadi for saying Odinga betrayed him and his fellow co-principals Moses Wetangula and Kalonzo Musyoka.
Through a tweet on Saturday, Etale defended ODM citing that the party does not condone ethnicity giving an example of him being a top official in the party despite him being a Luhyia contrary to Mudavadi's ANC which he insinuated to have no tribal balance.
"You can not have all the top brass of your party(ies) from the same community as you then you sneak to the media in the guise of exclusive interview to call Raila Odinga names. That is hypocrisy," Mr. Etale wrote.
Etale backed up his sentiments questioning Mudavadi on why he keeps on attacking Raila Odinga following his latest moves yet he has top leaders from his party ANC dominating the senate.
"Sen. Dep. Minority Leader Sen. Petronilla, Sen. Malala (is in the Senate Speaker's Panel), PSC Commissioner Sen. Khaniri, National Assembly Dep. Minority Whip Hon. Chris Wamalwa are all in House Leadership. They are all Luhya. Why keep attacking RailaOdinga?" He questioned.
Mr. Etale concluded citing that the composition of the Raila led party ODM is diverse and represents the face of Kenya, he urged the other leaders think Odinga way and stop politics of pettiness and hunger for power.
He maintained that he is a Luhyia but he is in the ODM Party steadily to stand against all fights targeted towards luo political king pin Raila Odinga.
"The composition of the ODM party NEC represents the face of Kenya. Who should be talking about betrayal? We are above simplistic thinking and politics of pettiness and whining like hungry hyenas. Let's think big. I am Luhya and steadily in O.D.M. Yes I am," he concluded
This follows after Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi during an exclusive interview with Saturday Standard on Friday said Odinga's pact with President Kenyatta was a selfish act citing that Odinga betrayed them and NASA followers.
The three controversial NASA principals have since pledged to revenge on Raila following his 'betrayal'
