Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua downplayed claims that Omar’s departure from Wiper will affect the political outfit.
The lawmaker also launched a scathing attack on leaders who claim to be speaking on behalf of the political outfit yet they have no mandate to do so. “There is an attempt by some people to purport to speak for and on behalf of the Ukambani people. This is unfortunate,” Wambua said, as quoted by Star.
In his resignation letter, Omar said that he had informed NASA Presidential candidate and his Party boss Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka.
“You will indeed recall that way before the August 8 General Election I made it clear to you and the Rt. Honourable Raila Odinga that I bear no desire to serve in your government in the event that you were elected and I was not elected governor of Mombasa for deep-rooted personal reasons that I will one day share,” he said, as quoted by Nation.
The lawmaker has now filed a petition against Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho, also ODM Deputy Leaders seeking for the nullification of his win.
