By MAUREEN KAKAHMigori Governor Okoth Obado will today know his fate on the controversy surrounding his validity as a member of the ODM party. George Odede, an ODM member, moved to the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal claiming that the governor did not formally give his former party a notice of defection before joining his current one. Despite the allegations, ODM has strongly defended Mr Obado, saying he has satisfactorily met all conditions set out as well as relevant national legislation before joining the party. Mr Obado says the tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter. Mr Odede wants it declared that Mr Obado is not a member of ODM and that his continuing association with the party is illegal.
