The Orange Democratic Movement has disassociated itself from Uriri MP Mark Nyamita.

According to a statement issued by Party Secretary General Edwin Sifuna on Wednesday, Nyamita is alleged to be in cahoots with the UDA party.

"At this stage, the Party wishes to dissociate itself from Hon Nyamita fully. We have granted his wish to no longer be part of us and advise our members in Uriri and Migori generally that he is an agent of UDA with the assigned task of sowing confusion and discord within ODM," Sifuna said.

He said Nyamita does not speak for nor represent the Orange Party at any level, advising members to view and treat him and all those who support him accordingly.

The statement was released following a central committee meeting with its elected leaders from Migori and Kisii to get a brief following recent worrying incidents in the two counties.

Sifuna, however, said despite the MP being invited, he did not show up. 

During the meeting, the Nairobi Senator alleged that the government is keen to destabilise ODM-run counties and constituencies.

In attendance during the Central Committee meeting were Migori Governor Ochilo Ayacko, Woman Rep Fatuma Mohamed(Migori), Senator Eddy Oketch(Migori), Suna West MP Peter Masara, and his Suna East counterpart Junet Mohammed.

From Kisii  MPs Antony Kibagendi (Kitutu Chache-South), Obadiah Barongo (Bomachoge Borabu) and Patrick Osero from Borabu in Nyamira were present.
