The Orange Democratic Party (ODM) has announced it shall initiate the recalling of six Members of Parliament (MPs).
In a statement on Tuesday, July 2, ODM said the six lawmakers have repeatedly violated the oath and wishes of the electorate.
The six MPs include; Elisha Odhiambo (Gem), Gideon Ochanda (Bondo), Emmanuel Wangwe (Navakholo), Kanchory Memusi (Kajiado Central), Benard Masaka (Ikolomani) and Caroli Omondi (Suba South).
“That the ODM Party shall initiate and lead recall processes in the following constituencies in light of the current office holders’ repeated violation of their sacred oath and the wishes of the electorate. Gem, Bondo, Navakholo, Kajiado Central, Ikolomani, and Suba South,” read the statement in part.
At the same time, the Raila Odinga-led party said the Kenya Kwanza government should take responsibility for all the deaths, injuries, and destruction of property arising from the violent suppression of peaceful protests.
ODM asked President William Ruto to direct security organs to cease abductions of protestors and release of all detainees.
“The President must publicly direct his security organs to forthwith cease the ongoing abductions; an exercise we believe is being undertaken with the full approval of the State. He must account for and order the release of all detainees abducted by his security agencies,” ODM stated.

The opposition party further called on the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) to expedite investigations into allegations of mass murder by police in Githurai and Rongai.
ODM pointed out that what happened on June 25 amounted to a vote of no confidence in the Kenya Kwanza government.
“It is reflected in his petulant proposals on how we manage our economy following the rejection of his tax bill. Instead of focusing on cutting wastage, opulence and corruption in his regime, he is hitting back with threats to cut funding for the Judiciary and the County Governments,” ODM added.
The party additionally mentioned that it will support credible austerity measures in the executive and parliament.
