We cannot therefore promote or be seen to promote wastage, avarice and inequities in the Kenyan society," he said, in a statement, Thursday.ODM further encouraged its members in different leadership positions to always attempt to mediate their personal interests with public good that constitutes the substructure of ODM ideology of Social Democracy.ODM's Homa Bay County Woman Representative Gladys Wanga and Mbita lawmaker Millie Odhiambo are among ODM MPs who are opposed to pay cut.
