By IBRAHIM ORUKOMore by this AuthorOrange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga has pardoned Narok Senator Ledama ole Kina and ordered the party’s Senate leadership to halt his removal from the powerful County Public Accounts and Investments Committee. Mr Odinga issued the directive after a breakfast meeting with the senator and elders from the Maasai community at his Nairobi home on Tuesday. The party’s Senate leadership did not just reject his election, but went a step further to remove him from the committee. Mr Ole Kina is a seen as a key pillar in attempts by the two leaders to get to the soul of the Maasai community ahead of the General Election. He is one of the few leaders that both the President and Mr Odinga are hoisting as regional kingpins.
