Lang'ata MP Phelix Odiwuor alias Jalang'o and his Rarieda counterpart Otiende Amollo have once again defied the ODM party's demand for a show cause letter after failing to vote on the Finance Bill, 2023.
The party says they are among 13 lawmakers who are yet to write show cause letters.
In a statement on Tuesday, the party said the two were among other pro-President William Ruto MPs who missed the crucial vote.
Other MPs who did not show cause include; Gideon Ochanda, Joseph Oyula, John Ariko Namoit (Turkana South), Paul Nabuin (Turkana North), Said Buya Hiribae (Galole), Mohamed Abdikadir Hussein (Lagdera), Titus Khamala (Lurambi), Wilberforce Oundo (Funyula), Mark Nyamita (Uriri), Daniel Manduku (Nyaribari Masaba) and Fatuma Masito.
Secretary general Edwin Sifuna said 17 others had explained why they failed to vote on the contentious bill.
He said the decision of the party will be communicated to them soon.
"The responses so far received are being processed in accordance with Rule 11 of the ODM Disciplinary Committee (Practice and Procedure) Rules, 2022 and the affected members will be informed of the verdict in due course," Sifuna said.
The party also apologised to Ruaraka MP, Tom Joseph Kajwang for erroneously including his name in the list of opposition MPs who didn't vote for the Finance Bill, 2023.
The Orange party commenced disciplinary action against 28 legislators over their conduct during Wednesday last week’s debate on the Finance Bill 2023.
Sifuna said the decision followed complaints from members of the public.
