Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina is breathing fire following an alleged plot to steal his genuinely won senate post.
Ledama was on Monday May 4, 2020, elected as the chairman of the powerful Senate oversight committee, the Senate County Public Accounts and Investments Committee,
However, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party is seeking to withdraw its members from the committee.
Senate Minority leader James Orengo wrote to Speaker Kenneth Lusaka protesting the results.
“I express and register dissatisfaction with the conduct and outcome of the election of the leadership of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee, which were purportedly done today,” Orengo said in the letter.
“We intend to withdrawn our membership from the said committee until an appropriate resolution can be made.”
However, Senator Ledama has fired a warning, citing that he is a wrong number to mess with.
Through his official twitter account, Ledama says that the ODM party leader Raila Odinga is on the record stating that his election has been stolen, and he supported him.
Ledama further says that he was nearly killed in the last Resist Movement while protesting the 2017 presidential election results.
He has warned Senator Orengo, citing that he was a wrong number to mess with should anyone try to steal his chair position.
“@RailaOdinga is on the record stating that his election has been stollen & I supported him. I was nearly killed in the last Resist Movement! Now what exactly does this letter mean? @orengo_james are they trying to steal my chair position! No way! I am a wrong number to mess with!” he posted.
Ledama went ahead to note that the Maasai are not fence sitters, and that one day they will lead the country. He argues that there is no position that is reserved for any person.
“The Maasai are not fence sitters! We are Kenyans and one day we will lead this country! Double standards! No position is reserved for any person. Let’s respect democracy! ” he posted.
Insiders said that top ODM echelons were not happy with Ole Kina’s election and were planning to instruct their members to de-whip him if the Speaker declines to accept Orengo’s request.
The sources disclosed that Ole Kina got the support of nearly all the Jubilee Senators in the nine- member committee.

Raila has no friends. He is perennial looser and everyone be like him.
