Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga\u2019s ODM party wants Registrar of Political Parties to convene an urgent Nasa meeting to settle the raging wars over coalition\u2019s funds.<\/p>\n

ODM secretary general Edwin Sifuna wrote to RPP Ann Nderitu asking her to convene a meeting of Wiper, ANC and Ford Kenya to put to rest the cash issue.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated July 15, Sifuna decried what he termed as deliberate misinformation about how the coalition was supposed to share money after the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur position is that Nasa was not a clandestine organisation but an above-the-board alliance of registered political parties and governed by instruments that are deposited with your office, the contents of which are self-explanatory,\u201d Sifuna said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe therefore wish to request your esteemed office to convene at your earliest possible convenience a meeting of Nasa constituent parties as per Musyoka\u2019s request to deliberate on and put this matter to rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kalonzo had written to Nderitu in April over the parties funds.<\/p>\n

Last week, Kalonzo spoke of a meeting with ODM party leader Raila Odinga over sharing of Nasa money.<\/p>\n

The sharing of Nasa money has become a thorn in the flesh, with ODM being accused of starving other parties.<\/p>\n

During a morning interview with Radio Citizen last week, Raila said that his party will not share its rightful amount with other affiliate parties.<\/p>\n

Raila argued that ODM is receiving money based on the number of MPs in both Houses who were sponsored by the party, and not through the 2017 presidential election outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we were receiving money based on the presidential elections, that would have been fine to share with our colleagues,\u201d Raila said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThere are those who are spreading rumours that ODM is denying other affiliates money. If that money is available, we will share with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an attempt to break the cash stalemate, Nasa set up a technical team comprising representatives of ODM and Kalonzo\u2019s Wiper, the team met on April 28.<\/p>\n

According to Sifuna\u2019s letter, the partners made recommendations that are yet to be acted upon.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we continue to consume via mass media comments attributed to some members of the Nasa summit and their respective parties that are of complete variance with Nasa coalition agreement and imputing lack of integrity and accountability on the part of our Party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, ruling Jubilee and ODM received Sh353,856,428 and 165,252,076 political parties fund respectively.<\/p>\n
