ODM yesterday told off lawyer Kipchumba Murkomen, saying there exists no mechanism to appeal the decisions of the party’s National Executive Council. Malindi MP Asha Jumwa and her Msambweni counterpart Suleiman Dori hired the Elgeyo Marakwet Senator to fight their expulsion from the party. But in a letter to Kipchumba yesterday, party secretary general Edwin Sifuna said ODM will not admit strangers to any of its internal deliberations on the matter. “It is frankly embarrassing for your clients to claim to be champions of the values and aspirations of ODM when they have no basic knowledge of the constitution of the party,” Sifuna said.
