Turkana Governor Josphat Nanok on Friday blamed ODM party for 'kicking him' out as vice-chairman.
The orange party on June 27 announced the ouster of Nanok as the party’s vice-chair as he had publicly disowned the party to join the Tanga Tanga movement.
“Following numerous public pronouncements that he has quit the ODM party, the NEC has unanimously resolved to replace Nanok as the party vice-chairman with Loima MP Jeremiah Lomorukai. He was welcomed to the NEC by the party leader Raila Odinga,” read the tweet by ODM.
Nanok said insisted he is still the ODM vice chairman because the right measures to kick him out were not followed and no without consultation was done.
The Turkana county boss said area leaders deserve respect and he still stands firm as the vice-chairman of ODM since the party didn't follow the right measures for his removal.
ODM leader Raila Odinga, however, said Nanok announced publicly that he has joined the Tanga Tanga movement and he should not say he doesn't know he was kicked out.
"I was invited for Turkana Cultural fete, to celebrate but Nanok has lectured me. It's clear Nanok publicly left the party after decided to join Tanga Tanga movement and it's even in the Media," Raila said.
He said they are ready to accommodate him again if he wishes to come back.
