Nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi received a reprieve on Friday after the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal temporarily halted his expulsion from the Amani National Congress (ANC). The Registrar of Political Parties on Tuesday deleted Mr Osotsi’s name from the ANC register after the party’s disciplinary committee indicted him on the loss of funds belonging to the party. However, the Tribunal stopped the intended expulsion arguing that the party organs had not granted the MP a fair hearing. DUE PROCESS“The tribunal is satisfied that Mr Osotsi was not granted due process in the cause of disciplinary committee and the National executive committee hearings of the party,” the tribunal said in the ruling delivered by its chairman Kyalo Mboobu. The tribunal has further stays the decision of the disciplinary committee dated March 19, 2019, which voted to remove the MP’s name from the party register.
