Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina is now calling upon Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga to save him from losing the Senate County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) chair seat.

In an interview with KTN NEWS on Thursday night, Ole Kina said that the issue can be settled by the party leader.

“I want to call upon my party leader and tell him that my election is being stolen, support me,” Ole Kina said.

He said that things will turn ‘nasty’ if the marginalized communities in the country are used as rubber stamps by others.

“It is going to be nasty because we are not going to sit aside and become fence seaters,” ole Kina said.

The senator has also added that he was shocked by Orengo’s move to dispute the results yet he was not part of the team that took part in the election.

ODM on Thursday dewhiped Ole Kina from the Senate County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC).

This comes just days after members allied to Deputy President William Ruto ganged up to vote in Ole Kina as the chair of the powerful committee.

In a letter dated May 7, 2020 addressing the senate speaker, Orengo issued a notice of the discharge and removal of Senator Ole Kina from the committee.

“In accordance with the senate Standing order 190, I hereby give notice of the discharge and removal of Senator Ledama Ole Kina from the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee and the Senate Business Committee,” reads the letter.

This came just a day after Ole Kina and Orengo settled the matter that almost brought chaos to the ODM party.

The argument between Ledama and ODM Minority Leader in the Senate James Orengo started on Tuesday following the new members to the County Public and Accounts Investment Committee being announced.

Ole Kina emerged the winner from the votes cast defeating his Kisii counterpart Sam Ongeri.

Following his win, Orengo disputed the outcome, saying the names of the new members were published in a rush when other issues were not resolved.

Ole Kina said that the move by Orengo was not in good faith yet he is a member of the ODM party.

But on Wednesday, Ole Kina said through a post on Twitter that the matter had been resolved.

He said that he held wide consultations regarding his election as the Senate CPAIC chairperson with Orengo and the ODM party leadership.

“I have had wide consultations on the issue of my election as chair of the Senate CPAIC with James Orengo and the ODM party,” Ole Kina said.

Ole Kina has however, dared the Orange party shortly after being kicked out of the powerful senate committee.

Taking to his twitter account Thursday afternoon, Ole Kina dared ODM to bring on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), which he said is set to kick of by the end of this month.

His daring message follows ODM’s decision to dewhip him from the Senate County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC), just days after members allied to Deputy President William Ruto ganged up to vote in Ole Kina as the chair of the powerful committee.

Ole Kina further, in another post, noted that things are about to get nasty.

While noting that he had chaired his second meeting as the duly elected Chair of Senate Public Accounts Investment Committee, he urged Kenyans to ignore a letter from Senate Minority leader James Orengo, arguing that it has got no basis and must be treated with contempt.

“Today I chaired my second meeting as the duly elected Chair of Senate Public Accounts Investment Committee. The letter by @orengo_james has got no basis and must be treated with contempt! Because this committee is very powerful they want a push over not Me,” he tweeted.
