Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has criticised the Orange Democratic Party following its decision to punish rebel members.
“Double standards by Azimio-OKA, Tinga is unprecedented & hypocritical because Kalonzo was in State House yesterday where before him my law lecturer SenAator Ojienda, Jalango and others visited State House,” Cherargei said.
The senator criticised the move claiming that the ODM party had expelled the members for associating themselves with the government.
“Kalonzo should also be expelled from the Azimio-OKA / wiper party for going to state House yesterday,” the senator said.

Cherargei accused the ODM party leadership of political conmanship, intimidation and blackmail and pointed out that the acts must come to an end.
Those expelled were Phelix Odiwuor alias Jalang'o (Lang'ata), Elisha Odhiambo (Gem), Caroli Omondi (Suba South), Gideon Ochanda (Bondo) and Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda.
The party also fined Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris Sh250,000 for defying the party position and voting for the Finance Bill, 2023 (now an Act).
