Veteran politician Raila Odinga held several secretive meetings with politicians from his ODM wing to scheme for Moses Wetangula's ouster, reports the Daily Nation.
In a thorny relationship that has since prematurely ended, Wetangula, who lost Senate Minority leadership to James Orengo, has since moved on.
"I have no ill feelings towards anybody. I have a future to plan and people are looking unto me to provide leadership," he said, arguing that he has nothing to do with Odinga.
So first the ouster took place, that the Ford Kenya leader could not make the NASA divorce 'noisy and messy' as he had promised.
But in an interview with the Nation, Wetangula said Raila had been involved in his removal, a reason why he kept mum when senators allied to ODM openly belittled him in a meeting.
"I know for a fact that nothing happens in rank and file in ODM without the knowledge and sanction by its leader," he said, arguing that Odinga only wanted to absolve himself.
As the day for ouster approached, he says, Raila organised a meeting with ODM senators where his removal was broadly discussed after which the veteran leader gave them an okay.
When asked about the role of his successor, Wetangula said, 'there is no difference between Orengo and Raila'.
Previous investigations however contradicts Wetangula's position since a source who sought anonymity claims that Orengo had defied Raila when he was asked to drop the plans.
