ANC And Ford Kenya Want Disbursement of 4.1 Billion Shillings To ODM Party Stopped

July 28, 2020

Moses wetangula and Musalia Mudavadi of Ford Kenya and Amani National Congress (ANC) party wants a 4.1 billion shillings disbursement to Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) stopped.

ODM was recently awarded Sh 4.1 billion by the Court of Appeal as funds it should have received from the Exchequer 2011 to 2016.

“In the coming days, we will take action against ODM over the funds, including going to court. We want the disbursement stopped until ODM honours its agreement with us and gives us our share,” ANC Secretary-General Barrack Muluka said.

The two parties together with Kalonzo Musyoka Wiper party leader were once in the famous Nasa coalition which has deformed to various political ideologies.

“We were awarded the funds, but for some reason, Treasury has not released them. We have engaged both Parliament and the national Treasury to pursue the award, and we hope there will be steps taken to settle the amount failure to which we will go back to court,” ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna said.

ODM has argued that ANC and Ford-Kenya do not deserve a cent of its funds; claiming they had given up on Nasa and even left the Orange party to shoulder the coalition’s financial burden including paying staff salaries after the 2017 election.
