Wrangles within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) pitying a camp led by the party leader on one hand and another by the secretary general will soon be ironed during a forthcoming national delegates conference, Ugunja Member of parliament, Moses Omondi has said.
According to Omondi, the differences that have seen the two camps host parallel rallies across the country, are normal within democratic organisations where people are allowed to air their views on issues affecting the party.
He was speaking at Sigomere secondary school in Ugunja sub county during the issuance of bursary cheques to secondary school students.
“I believe that under the leadership of our party leader, Dr Oburu Oginga, things will normalise in the near future,” said the legislator adding, “the party is organising a national delegates conference meeting which, I believe, will address the issues after which things will normalise.”
He said that the meeting will bring on board all the delegates, even those with divergent opinions, who will be accorded opportunity to express themselves.
Omondi who was elected during the November, 2025 by elections to succeed energy minister, Opiyo Wandayi who resigned to join the cabinet, said he was fully in support of the broad-based government which he praised for development.
Addressing the occasion, Ugunja Constituency Development Fund chairman, Benard Omollo Were said the fund has disbursed a total of Sh27 million to facilitate the education of more than 4,000 continuing students from the area.
He said that 4,646 students applied for bursary but after scrutiny and assessment, 4,019 succeeded to have their education funded by the CDF.
