Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa has told his Embakasi East counterpart Babu Owino not to accept to be used and dumped by Azimio leader Raila Odinga.
Speaking on Friday, Barasa said that Babu should not accept anything less than being the position of chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee in the National Assembly.
"Babu Owino when a hyena want to eat its children, it begins by accusing them of smelling like a goat. Don't accept to be used and dumped by the ODM Party and Raila Odinga," he said in a tweet.
"If you accept anything less of Chair PAC , I will petition the senate of The University of Nairobi to recall all your eight degrees."
His sentiments came after the Embakasi East MP accused ODM party of betrayal.
He said a number of youths in the party have been selflessly supporting it but have not been rightly rewarded.
"ODM Party, so many youth and myself sacrificed a lot and used our resources in the party over the years, our pay is betrayal and blackmail. It is OK. Tomorrow is another day," he tweeted on Thursday.
Narok senator Ledama Ole Kina reiterated saying leadership allocation had gone to the new members, ignoring the old guards.
"It’s about time we demand what is ours. Enough of always being kept in arms' way while others chill in their cribs and are rewarded with the lion's share of party positions," he said.
ODM party however, maintained that they are still united, strong and focused.
"We are united, strong and focused," ODM said.
Raila called for a Parliamentary Group meeting to be held on Monday to get a solution for the disquiet.
The leaders will discuss the leadership line-up and the proposed House Committee chairpersons and vice chairpersons.
