Passaris, Jalang'o, Babu Owino among 28 ODM MPs facing disciplinary action over Finance Bill vote
Twenty-eight members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) are facing disciplinary action for defying the party's position on the Finance Bill 2023 which was tabled for debate in Parliament on Wednesday.
In a statement issued on Thursday, ODM Secretary General
Edwin Sifuna noted that the party had since written show-cause letters to the 28
members who either voted for the bill or were absent during the voting exercise.
"The Party is in receipt of many complaints from its
general membership regarding the conduct of its members of National Assembly
during yesterday's vote on the Finance Bill, 2023."
"In line with the Party's disciplinary rules, notices
to show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken have been issued to
the said members. They are expected to respond within the next 48 hours,"
reads the statement.
The controversial Bill, which has been strongly opposed by
the opposition, sailed through the second reading on Tuesday evening
with 176 MPs supporting it against 81 who opposed it.
According to the statement by Sifuna, the ODM MPs who voted for
the Bill include; Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris, Aden Adow Mohamed (Wajir
South MP), Elisha Ochieng Odhiambo (Gem MP) and Caroli Omondi (Suba MP).
