  •  Lang'ata Member of Parliament Phelix Odiwuor (Jalang'o) was kicked out of  Azimio la Umoja Parliamentary Group (PG) minutes after former Prime Minister Raila Odinga arrived at the venue in Machakos county.

    Jalang'o, in his address to the media, stated that he was asked to leave the venue by a close security guard of Raila.

    "Minutes after I walked in, one of his (Raila) close security asked me to walk out, and that is what I did. 

    "I feel bad because I love baba and I am a member of ODM. I feel bad that I cannot be there since Raila is in there," he stated.

    Lang'ata Member of Parliament Phelix Odiwuor (Jalang'o) was blocked from attending the Azimio la Umoja Parliamentary Group (PG) in Machakos on Thursday, February 9. 

    The MP had just arrived at the venue when a group of men attempted to block him from gaining access to the hall.

    A commotion ensued as his entourage attempted to force their way into the venue. This prompted Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and his Suna East counterpart Junet Mohamed to intervene.

    Some men who attempted to block Jalang'o were also heard shouting at the MP to go to State House.

    Jalang'o, however, gained access to the venue while shielded by Raila Odinga's loyalists. 

    The Lang'ata MP was in Machakos for the PG convened by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. 

    Attempts to block the legislator from attending the PG came after several ODM MPs criticised him for attending a meeting that President William Ruto convened at State House on Tuesday, February 7. 

    Jalang'o was in the company of seven other MPs who reportedly dumped Raila for the government.

    However, the legislators refuted the claims adding that the meeting was centred around development talks.

    On his part, the Lang'ata MP explained that Ruto called him to State House to discuss a crucial project set to benefit his constituents.

    "Remember, the President's first project was in Lang'ata, which was why I was there. Ruto called for the meeting.

    "I was told to sit with them because I come from the region. Being a leader, it was only noble that I sit with them there," he explained.

    Nonetheless, a section of ODM loyalists cautioned him from engaging the government and disobeying party orders. By WASHINGTON MITO, Kenyans.co.ke
