Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo has claimed that Siaya Senator James Orengo’s support for Governor Cornel Rasanga is not genuine.
Midiwo has claimed that Orengo was behind chaos during ODM primaries.
He claimed that chaos were meant to bar Rarieda MP Nicholas Gumbo from contesting against Rasanga for the seat.
Gumbo will be chalenging Rasanga as an indepedent candidate.
"He wanted the rival Gumbo and Rasanga camps to engage in chaos so the party hands him (Rasanga) direct nomination but we nipped his plans in the bud," Midiwo said on Wednesday on Radio Mayienga FM.
He questioned Orengo’s absence from Rasanga’s campiagns only to emerge three weeks ago.
"Where was Orengo during initial campaigns for Rasanga? He only emerged a few months ago after his schemed failed."
