AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna says the party will kick out Embakasi East MP Babu Owino if he is found guilty of shooting Felix Orinda alias DJ Evolve.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur code of conduct is very clear. Once you are found guilty of a crime we will expel you from the Party,\u201d said Sifuna while speaking on Spice FM today.<\/p>\n

Sifuna also defended ODM\u00a0which has for months received backlash from critics over Babu\u2019s actions saying that the legislator is a member of ODM \u201cin the exercise of his right of association actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople look at his political party as if his politics is what informed his action,\u201d clarified Sifuna.<\/p>\n

In what was seen as an endless attempt to clear the\u00a0fog, Sifuna rebuffed claims made on social media platforms that the Embakasi East MP \u2018walking free\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is not walking free. He has been charged and is out on bail,\u201d said Mr Sifuna.<\/p>\n

Sifuna was disappointed at how\u00a0Kenyans are to blame for the defilement of\u00a0 Chapter six of the Kenyan Constitution that talks about leadership and integrity. He said it was the failure by ordinary citizens that has\u00a0emboldens leaders to hang on to public offices even when they are found wanting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the same people that defiled that and made sure it doesn\u2019t matter what somebody is accused of. Your current President and Deputy, when they were elected, what were they facing?\u201d asked\u00a0 Sifuna.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need as a country; this is the broader conversation of BBI. What is our national ethos? How is it that if someone misconducts themselves in their private lives, they feel the shame that they cannot hold public office and resign. We need to get there as a country,\u201d said Mr Sifuna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
