Political Parties Tribunal to determine Sifuna's case against ODM
Audio By Vocalize
It is a blow to the Orange Democratic Movement after the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal ruled that it has jurisdiction to hear and determine a complaint filed by the party’s Secretary General, Edwin Sifuna.
In its ruling, the Tribunal dismissed a preliminary objection that sought to stop the proceedings, clearing the way for the matter to proceed to a full hearing.
The decision means the dispute between Sifuna and ODM will now be substantively considered before the Tribunal.
However, the Tribunal declined to grant conservatory orders at this stage, noting that no conclusive determination can be made before key issues in the case are fully addressed.
It further directed that the outcome of any Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanism (ADRM) process between Sifuna and the party will not take effect until the case is heard and determined.
The ruling now sets the stage for a full hearing of the dispute.
