Nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi has been ordered to pay Sh4.5 million legal fees for his unsuccessful challenge to ANC’s decision to replace him as secretary general. The High Court overturned a decision of the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal, where Osotsi had successfully challenged his removal as secretary general and replacement by Muluka. The party bill of costs drawn and filed by Ameyo Guto, Etole and Company Advocates indicated Sh3.5 million was charged towards instruction fees to present an appeal against the decision of Political Parties Dispute Tribunal. In August 2019, however, the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal dismissed Osotsi’s expulsion from ANC. Despite his long-running battles with his party leader, Osotsi got placement to plum house committees, more than any other ANC lawmaker.
