The last tweet by the senator was 19 hours where he commended ODM leader Raila Odinga for welcoming Hon Sarah Lekorer. Olekina was elected on an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) ticket in the August 8, 2017, general elections. The senator reportedly went against the party position which had preserved the seat for Kisii Senator Sam Ongeri. The move rattled the ODM party with Minority Leader James Orengo protesting the manner in which the election was held. The high court has temporarily barred the Speaker of the Senate from removing Senator Ledama Olekina from the position of Chairperson County Public Accounts and Investments Committee.
