Budalangi MP, Ababu Namwamba has been told that his resignation as the ODM secretary general will cost him during the 2017 elections.
This is according to Kibera legislator, Ken Okoth.
Okoth refuted claims that ODM party is led by Luos as alleged by some party members who have exited and some planning to exit.
The legislator said that ODM party belongs to every Kenyan and accusations to the party leader dominating the party for his own interest are false.
"It is suspected that Namwamba was given a bribe by Jubilee to ditch ODM but let me tell my friend Namwamba that his political move will cost him much come 2017,’’ said Okoth.
"Namwamba has been nurtured politically with ODM leader, Raila Odinga. Instead of him appreciating that he is out there claiming that he has not been involved in party activities. He should have complained to the party, we sit and discuss. Ditching ODM/CORD will cost him,’’ said the legislator.
Okoth also noted that ODM will still remain intact even after the exit of Namwamba and Funyula MP, Paul Otuoma.
"The cheap money he was given will end and he will later regret why he made such bad step ditching the party that has made him what he is today. He should gone deep in his thinking why Jubilee had to bribe him to betray the party,’’ stated Okoth.
